Pictures of Pacific Hall, Rm 3500

This sign is from Ridge Walk, right in front of the Gym in Revelle College. If you see this sign, walk towards Revelle Plaza to get to Pacific Hall.

This is Pacific Hall, noticeable for its blue awnings. Go through the sliding doors and head on up to the third floor.
