From Cricket Inn
If you're coming from the Cricket Inn the shortest direction is
to walk through the hospital. You can also walk on the roads.
The Cricket Inn is near the Duke North Hospital. Note that it is
closest to the VA Hospital, but you want to walk towards the North
Hospital on Erwin Road.
- If you walk through the hospital it's much
shorter than by road. Enter the North Hospital (cross
Erwin and go into the hospital). Walk straight past
the gift store and information booth towards the elevators. Just before
the elevators, bear to the right, walking around the
elevators.
Go past a hall opening (construction/cafeteria) and follow an overhead
sign to south hospital walkway. You'll be in a long
hallway with window on your right. At the end of the hall, exit
right out the doors (signs say Duke Clinics, Library,
Searle Center). Do not follow the walkway left, but
go down the stairs in front of you as you exit
the hospital. When you've taken all the stairs you'll be on a driveway.
Follow the driveway/roadway to the the right at first,
but following it as it bears left away from the
hospital. After about 50 meters you'll see a sidwalk on the right. Take
this sidewalk, between two buildings. At the end of the sidewalk you'll
run into Research drive with the LSRC just across the street. Enter the
building as soon as you can, that's the Computer Science Dept wing.
- If you're walking on roads, when you get to Erwin, turn
right
and walk down Erwin. You'll have to cross Erwin, either at the
Hospital or further down the road. After 1/4 -- 1/2 mile you'll get
to a stop light at Research Drive. Turn left
and walk down Research Drive. In another 1/4 -- 1/2 mile you'll start
down a hill and see the North building on your right followed by
the LSRC on your right. There are signs by both buildings. Just
past the driveway between the North building and LSRC buildings is the
entrance to the Computer Science Dept --- we're the wing closest to
Research Drive. As you walk on the right side of Research Drive, turn
right just past the LSRC, then curl
right
again into our wing of the building.
From Hilton/Fairfield
Go down Hillsborough Road, turn right
on LaSalle (after Kroger, before
the Autoparts store). Lasalle intersects Erwin at the first light you'll
come too. Cross Erwin and you'll be in the middle of lots of parking
lots. Continue, to the first stop sign. Go through the stop sign
(stopping of course) and the next parking lot on the
right will be for the LSRC. The gates should be up so
you're free to park in this lot after 5:00 on Friday and anytime
Saturday.
If you park, the LSRC will be on your right as you enter the parking
lot (it's a huge, long building). As you're facing the LSRC, the
Computer Science dept will be all the way to your left,
the D-wing. Go down the stairs, the turn left until
you get to Research Drive or see an entrance to the D-wing down some
stairs on your right.
