As of now (Sep 7,10:44am) the designated room for this section of CS 610 is still Weston Lect Hall 2. This is located in the College of Architecture and Design. You may use the entrance from Summit St to enter it. A ramp there leads you up directly to the 3rd floor. After you enter the 3rd floor, on the left you may find the Reception Area and in front of you the staircase to the 2nd floor. When you take the staicase and reach the 2nd floor you face Summit St. Follow the corridor to the right and the entrance to Weston Lecture Hall 2 is a small door with the cryptic Room Number 262! Hopefully by Thursday they would unlock that door and change the label to something closer to the official room name! That's our room!
