	Directly behind and connected to Schermerhorn and is Schermerhorn Extension. The easiest way to get to a room in the extension is to enter Schermerhorn, make a right, walk until the end of the hallway, make a left, go all the way forward and down a few stairs and make a right, then another left. You're now in the Extension. On your right are a bank of elevators that will get you to the rest of the floors. Alternatively, enter the service gate on 118th St and [[Amsterdam Ave]] during the daytime and use the door immediately on the left if it's still open.
