424 will be meeting in room 2068 ERF which is located at the
corner of Halsted and Taylor. The easiest way to get to this
room is to go to the 2nd floor of SEL East near the vending
machines that are close to the CS department computer labs.
Then you can walk South (toward Taylor street), pass through
two sets of dark brown doors, pass the elevators and restrooms
on your left and hit the security door to ERF. This door
should be open around class time. After that you can follow
the signs on the walls to the left then right then left to
2068 ERF
