Follow signs for Pittsburgh and I376 East 
Continue on I376 East through Fort Pitt Tunnel 
Stay in right lane as you cross Fort Pitt Bridge and bear right at exit marked 376E Monroeville 
Follow 376E exit 5 Forbes Ave/Oakland 
Continue on Forbes Ave 1.4 miles to Forbes Ave/Morewood 
The driveway to the Parking Garage will be on your right 
At the entrance to the Garage is the Parking Office - pick up your
parking pass there

Stage 3 Research Group Lab is Newell Simon Hall 2504

from Charlottesville:
Take I-64 West to I-81, head North on I-81 
Take I-81 to I-70, take I-70 West 
Take I-70 to Breezewood/Gateway Exit 
Pick Up I-76 (Pennsylvania Turnpike) and head West (Note: When you're about to get on the turnpike, go through one of the RIGHT HAND lanes of tollbooths. Immediately after the tollbooth take the RIGHT HAND ramp going West). 
Take the I-76 (Turnpike) West to Exit 6 - Pittsburgh. Pay the toll ($4.40) and take 376 West to Pittsburgh (its a weird ramp so be alert). 
To Carnegie Mellon - Newell Simon Hall:

Take 376 west from the Turnpike 
Go through Squirrel Hill Tunnels - go to the Oakland Exit (1 exit beyond Squirrel Hill) 
The ramp will dump you on a two lane road after a stop sign merge ramp. 
Go up the hill and straight through the light until the street dead ends 
Make a left and take this street until it hits Forbes Avenue (a three lane one-way street). 
Make a right onto Forbes 
You will pass the Cathedral of Learning on your left. At this point, get in one of the two right hand lanes ASAP or you'll crash headlong into oncoming traffic. 

After the second light beyond the Cathedral of Learning (this second light is Craig Street) you will go across a bridge. 
Immediately after the bridge turn Right into a parking lot. Careful, entrance from Forbes Ave. is a bit abrupt, so take it slow. There are now two possibilities:

If it is before 4pm on a weekday, find a meter in this parking
lot and park. Newell Simon Hall is the building to the right after the 
stairs/walkway and stop sign. The Stage 3 lab is one floor down from 
the main entrance floor (which is floor 3 and the one Randy is on).

OR 

if it is after 4pm, or a weekend park anywhere in this lot or go a bit further and park in the next lot. Newell Simon Hall is the building to the right after the stairs/walkway and stop sign. The Stage 3 lab is one floor down from main entrance floor (which is floor 3 and the one Randy is on).


To the Holiday Inn - Oakland:

Follow Directions to Oakland exit listed above 
Once you make a right onto Forbes and pass the Cathedral of Learning on your left. STAY IN THE LEFT HAND LANE and make a Left onto South Bellfield Ave. Again, stay in the Left Lane - at the stop light, make a left onto Fifth Avenue. Get into the Right Hand Lane - Pass Ruskin Ave. You can make a left onto Tennyson or continue on and make a left onto Lytoon Ave. Either one will take you to parking for the Holiday Inn. 

This may also help.
