GETTING INTO THE NEW TIPPIN GYM

With the renovation of Tippin Gym, the main entrance to the gym has changed. The entrance is no longer located across the street from Merwick-Boyd Auditorium but is now located across the street from the Gemmell Student Complex. Patrons parking in the lot across from Tippin Gym off of Greenville Avenue should proceed past the old entrance and around the corner of the building. A handicap entrance is located at the bottom of the hill and the main spectator entrance is located at the upper end of Tippin Gym closer to Waller Hall and the Science Building above the handicap entrance. Signs will be out directing people to the entrance.
