There are several enterances to the building, but the main doors facing East High Street provide the easiest access to the venue.
Hotels:
Oxford has limited hotel availability, so we recommend staying in Dayton or Cincinnati.

There are several lunch options located on and near campus: Pulley's Diner, Red Zone, Miami Emporium, Eiffel Pizza and Pasta, Kabar Asian Cuisine, and Café Lux are at Armstrong Student Center, which is about a 6 minute walk away.
Another option is going to the Maple Dining Hall, which is about a 10 minute walk. High Street also has several options (we strongly recommend Bagel & Deli), but parking may be difficult to find.
