15-410, Operating System Design and Implementation

Mid-term exam location

The mid-term exam will be held in the Mellon Institute Auditorium, which is 15- or 20-minute walk from campus. You will need to enter the building through the security entrance on Bellefield Avenue (which is on opposite side of the building from campus).

To see a picture of where you're going, do a Google Maps search for "318 S. Bellefield Ave., 15213", press the "Street View" button, and then press the "look right" arrow twice. Here is a snapshot showing the entrance; click on it to be taken to Google Maps (this will let you change the camera angle so you can be sure "where you are").

Once you pass the guard station, a sign will direct you down stairs to your right; at the bottom of the stairs make a 180-degree turn to your right and you will be facing the auditorium doors. The Mellon Institute has a no-food/no-drink policy for that room. The room will be available starting at 6:00 in case you wish to arrive early.

In terms of travel time, on Wednesday afternoon your middle-aged professor walked from the front of Newell-Simon Hall to the Bellefield entrance of the Mellon Institute in 11 minutes. If you plan to get lost, plan to have more than 11 minutes available.
