Olin Library is in the center of the Danforth campus west of Brookings Quadrangle, east of Graham Chapel, and northeast of Mallinckrodt Center/Edison Theater. The library is the only 70s-ish style building with lots of windows. When planning your route via online map services (Google Maps, etc.), choose your destination as Danforth University Center at 6475 Forsyth Ave., St. Louis, MO 63130. Room 142 is closest to the north entrance of Olin Library, but please enter from the south entrance due to construction.
