Take Interstate 94 from the Twin Cities towards St. Cloud.  As you're
coming up on I94 take the 1st St. Cloud exit (County Rd 75), turn right
at the stop sign at the end of the ramp. Go until you get to the first
stop light (County Rd 7) and turn right. (The road will curve and
start to parallel the road you were just on.)  Follow this road, which
is also called Clearwater Rd., until you get to 10th St.  S. then turn
right again.  (This corner has two gas stations, a bar and a
laundromat.  One of the stations is named Little Dukes.) Once you're
on 10th St., go to the next stop light and turn left on to 5th
Ave. S. Go two blocks to 8th St. S. and turn right. Go down one block
and just before the Education Bldg. turn right one more time; you'll
be on 4th.  If you follow this for two blocks you'll see a large
parking lot on your left.  This is N Lot.  When you turn into the lot
there will be a tan brick building ahead of you.  That's ECC
(Engineering and Computing Center).
