When visiting SDSU-LARC on the SDSU Main Campus, you will park in Parking Structure #12 (PS12). You can reach this building by entering "SDSU Parking Structure 12" on Google Maps.

Reaching Storm Hall by stairs from the street level:
The stairs up to Storm Hall start at the street level, kitty-corner from Parking Structure 12 and across the street from the fenced-in soccer field. There, you will see a Lyft/Uber pickup sign and bench next to the stairs. Take the stairs up to the top, always staying left when there’s a choice. At the top of the stairs, Storm Hall will be there on your right. Go around the corner of the building to your right and come in the end door.
