Getting to the Defense

Malone Hall Rm 228, 3400 N Charles St, Baltimore MD

(JHU South Garage is underneath Mason Hall, which is right next to Malone Hall)

โฐ Please arrive 10 minutes early (by 2:50 PM)
Since we need to physically open the door for guests, arriving a bit early helps ensure you get inside before the defense begins at 3:00 PM.

During winter, Malone Hall's external doors are locked and require badge access. We'll have someone at a specific door to let guests in โ€” all other entrances will be closed.
