The subjects are often the results of projects or study groups from the past two years. Accessibility: Swipe your OneCard (room and/or meal plan card) at the door to enter the elevator lobby, which is located at the end of the ramp at the rear of the Davis Center. For visitors who do not have OneCards, signs will be posted at Davis and in the Registration lounge in the Campus Center with a number to call to request entry. No card is required to exit, and no card is required to access the stairs.
