Area 11 Housing – Sweeney Hall at CMU

Sweeney Hall is on 100 E. Ojibway Court on the CMU Campus. Since it is on a one way street going

west, you will need to take Washington Street to Ottawa Court. Coming from the North (M20), turn

right (South) on Washington and continue through campus (past Preston St.) until you get to

Ottawa Court on your left. Turn left (East) and follow the one way street all the way around until it

becomes Ojibway Court. The two streets form a horseshoe. Sweeney Hall is just past Fabiano Hall

on your left. There is a circle drive for busses. Those driving can park in lot 37, lot 45 behind

Sweeney Hall, and lot 45 across the street.
