To get to the Platt Rehearsal Room in Houston Hall:
From Spruce Street and 34th Street, proceed west on Spruce and enter Penn’s campus by turning right after you pass Irvine Auditorium. Proceed up the left-hand staircase. At the top of the stairs, you will pass a Penn Commons sign on your right. Turn left to find the campus entrance to Houston Hall. If you have a PennCard, you may swipe it here; if you are a visitor, ring the buzzer for entry. The campus entrance is the only available entrance; do not attempt to enter the building from Spruce Street. Once inside Houston Hall, go to the second floor. There will be signs directing you to the elevator or stairs. If taking the stairs, proceed straight and then immediately to the left when you reach the second floor. If taking the elevator, proceed straight. The Platt Rehearsal Room is directly adjacent to the Penn Office of the Chaplain/Center for Religious Life.
