Location
The main entrance of the ITS Computing Center is located on the first floor of Eaton Hall, at the top of the hill just on the academic quad. It's the building in which the Political Science department, the Sociology department, and the Classics department are located, among other departments. Look for it between Goddard Chapel and Miner Hall and opposite of Braker Hall.
View the campus map for building and street details.
