Directions & Parking:

Lilie is in the new Cambridge Building, which is behind the Allen Center and across from Lovett College. We suggest you enter Rice University through entrance #3 off of Main Street, onto Cambridge. The building is the first building on your right (highlighted with blue circle below). Take a right at the first stop sign (as soon as you turn into campus), and follow the road around to the parking garage.

The garage is paperless, so you will not get a ticket. You will need to insert your credit card upon entry. The Liu Idea Lab is on the first floor in the building attached to the garage. Go through the lobby and we are at the back of the building.
