with two main doors of access, one of

which is wheelchair accessible.

The Library Resource Center and Tech

story building is easily recognizable

and is also a good place to "hang out"

and do a little reading or writing

before the scheduled events.

This lounge at the southeast corner of

the 600 Building (Student Center and

Cafeteria) is the primary venue for

readings and guest lectures at the

Literary Arts Festival:  comfortable

seating in a lounge environment, with

lamps, couches, and hors d'oeuvres. 

Griffin Gate can also be accessed from

outside the 600 Building, through the

outdoor patio area where guests break

for intermission and take their

conversation, their snacks, and their

cigarettes to the open air.

[E] ENGLISH DEPARTMENT

The Literary Arts Festival is organized

and sponsored by the Creative Writing

Program in the Grossmont College

English Department.  The main offices 

of the English Department, including

the Department Chair, are located in

this complex of classrooms and office

spaces.  If you are lost, don't hesitate

to ask anyone working in this building

where to go for a Festival event;

they'll be happy to assist you.
