Community Data Science Lab (NU)

The Community Data Science Collective is located in room FSB 2-430 at the Frances Searle Building. This notoriously hexagonal building will trap you in its cold, concrete embrace even after five years of navigating it. Fortunately, FSB 2-430 is relatively easy to find. We share the space with the CollabLab run by Darren Gergle.

Directions to 2-430 lab space

First, find the Frances Searle Building (FSB). There are directions on Northwestern's website. But for your convenience, this is the address:

2240 Campus Drive

Evanston, IL 60208

Now, follow the instructions below to get to the lab:

• 
  1. Welcome to the Frances Searle Building (FSB)! This is the front of the building. Don't be afraid to go in!
• 
  2. Go straight up the staircase you see upon entering the lobby. Go to the right side.
• 
  3. At the top of the stairs, if you look back you will see a lone internal-facing window. This is where the lab is. Walk past the open seating!
• 
  4. There should be a glass door with two signs, one for CDSC and one for CollabLab. You found it!

Coffee chats

We try to have a weekly coffee chat for everyone who uses 2-430 to hang and chat about whatever while making yummy coffee together. The agreed upon time will be on the glass wall in dry-erase marker.
