South College is located near the library (the library is easily identifiable from most anywhere on campus – it is a tall, narrow, red brick building – the tallest on campus). W245 is on the ground level of the building. Here is a link that shows a photo of South College – and you can see the library off to the right.

Parking: Parking is free on Saturdays in all lots that are not 24-hour permit lots (feel free to explore this map). The parking garage is very close and costs $1.75/hour.
