The iSchool resides in several buildings within UW campus. The iSchool has its biggest presence in Mary Gates Hall (MGH) including faculty offices and labs, Ph.D students, Student Services, IT Help desk, and the Dean’s office with faculty affairs and administrative support. The iSchool student lounge, many study labs and classrooms are in MGH as well.  The UW campus map is an invaluable reference.
