Find Facility Information - Search Tips

Using the Facility Search 

Facility Name or Code

  • It is ok to use part of a name e.g. use “garage” instead of typing out “parking garage”. 
  • Use a nickname e.g. type in “ornithology” instead of trying to remember the new name of the building “Imogene Johnson Center for Birds & Biodiversity” (or just type in “bird”). 
  • You can enter a facility code if known, e.g. "2047" (Olin Library) 

Street Search
