Directions to Loomis Chaffee:

http://www.loomischaffee.org/about-us/visitor-information

Chaffee Hall is at the far end of the Loomis Campus. If you enter from Batchelder, veer right and follow the road all the way around as it bends left. At the stop sign (tennis courts and faculty housing to the right), Chaffee will be on your left.

From Island Road (where many GPSes tend to direct people), take a right after you pass the rink (on the right) and football field (on the left) and follow the road around, as above.

The Learning Resource Center is the very last spot on campus before you are on the tennis courts and has very large windows. You can enter Chaffee from any door - if you are near the College Guidance office, follow the hallway around to the very end. Chaffee is also attached to the Hubbard Music Center - if you enter from there, wind your way to the far back of the building.
