Directions to STG

The Brown University Scholarly Technology Group is located on the ground floor of Graduate Center Tower E, at 92 Thayer St., between Power and Charlesfield.

For a general description of how to get to Brown University (including maps), take a look at the Brown directions pages. These pages lead you, via Benefit or South Main streets, to the Van Wickle Gates - which is a quarter mile from STG. To get to STG specifically, you'll need to take a slightly different route:

From the North

  • 95 South, through Providence (past the State House) to 195 East. Note that the exit is to the left.
  • Follow directions from 195 East.

From the South

  • 95 North, to 195 East. This is before you enter Providence, and after the oil tanks on the right.
  • Follow directions from 195 East.

From 195 East

  • Exit 2 on 195 East, called Wickenden St. Exit.
  • Left onto Wickenden St. as you come off the exit. You should be going under the highway overpass. If you find yourself going over a bridge, you are going in the wrong direction. Make a U Turn as soon as possible.
  • Left onto Brook St. at the second light. You will see Atomic Appliance on the corner.
  • Take the 6th left, onto Power St., then the first right, onto Thayer St. and park.

From 195 West

  • Take the Gano St. exit (This is the first Providence exit. Be careful, it is a quick merge.)
  • Go right as you come off the exit onto Gano St.
  • Take a left at the flashing light (six blocks). This is Power St.
  • Go up Power St. for 6 blocks (counting streets that are not through streets).
  • Take a right onto Thayer St and park.

Once You've Parked

  • As you face the Graduate Center on Thayer St.--the building with the brick wall, not the iron fence--the entrance to STG is down the ramp in the opening on the left.
  • If you see a spiral staircase in front of you, turn around, go back out to the street, turn right and then turn right again into the other entrance.
  • Go down the ramp, in the outer door, and keep going into the inner door. The conference room is right on front of you.
