After walking along side the building, under the covered walkway, you will reach the front door and will be greeted by the Security officer. All visitors must show picture ID. (If your group is wearing name tags, it will help to speed the process along.)
Your Valpak hosts will guide you to the Community Room which is upstairs and across the hall.
