The second floor is divided into three self-contained sections that do not allow you to go from one to the other!
(And, yes, we think this is strange too!)
If your class schedule shows a three-digit room number beginning with 2 (PL-2XX), you want the part of the second floor that can only be accessed via the exterior entrances, numbered 1-3 shown in the photos below and at right. Other PL classrooms (013, 015, 025, & 45) are in the basement.
From inside the library, near the Library Service Desk on the first floor, use this doorway to get to the elevator that will take you to either the second floor classrooms or the basement classrooms. This is the same elevator you can access from the exterior of the PL building (entrance number 3 on the right).
The Pfau Library portion of the second floor houses the Library Administration Office (PL-2007); the Library Instruction Room (PL-2005) where librarians give classes and workshops; and a study area--nothing else.
Use either the front or back first-floor entrance to the Pfau Library, then take the elevators (NOT the first pair of elevators, ONLY the pair closest to the staircase) or the stairs. See our guide, PL-2005: How to Get There.
The Wedge portion of the second floor houses a handful of Academic Technologies & Innovation's offices not normally of interest to students.
Use one of the first-floor entrances to the Wedge (shown on the Basement and First Floor pages of this guide) and go down the hall to the elevator. Take the elevator to the second floor.
