That just goes to the fairly useless interactive map.

Chapman Hall is so new, it's not listed. It doesn't turn up on the 
"searchable" map, either.

It's still called "Phillips Hall Addition" on most current maps:

Don't plan on getting to it "across from Venable Hall." Venable is under 
demolition and the space between Venable and Chapman is fenced off as 
well as the areas around it. The entrance to Chapman from the Venable 
side is also fenced off.

Chapman Hall is hard to get to if you don't know where you are going. 
It's not on a street. It's behind Phillips Hall, which is on Cameron 
Avenue. It's also behind Sitterson Hall, which is on South Columbia in 
the one way north zone. Don't park around either of those buildings if 
you expect to find your car later.

Parking for Chapman Hall is hard. The instructions mention Hanes Lot, 
which is not public. Swain Lot across from Phillips has pay parking, but 
is mostly now torn up for construction and is subject to special use 
permitting without much notice. I tried to park there last weekend and 
it was blocked off for handicapped use only. There were temporary 
construction zone only signs up this week. Parking rules change almost 
daily around campus and weekends are particularly volatile.

Your best bet will be parking in the municipal lots and garages on 
Rosemary Street, particularly the one on the north side of Rosemary. 
It's the least expensive of the four municipal options and is less 
expensive than Swain lot when there is an attendant at Swain. Some 
Saturdays, the garage on the north side of Rosemary has no attendant and 
can be completely free. Just depends on "the weather" so to speak. 
Otherwise it's $6/day, no pass outs.

Once you get to Chapman, it's worth the trip. It's a really nice new 
building. However, bring your own drinking water. The fountains in the 
building are currently shut off by OWASA due to some as yet unknown 
contamination problem. You can wash your hands in the rest rooms, but 
the water leaves some kind of gritty film on your hands. You can see 
small chunks of something that looks like concrete pebbles in the 
bottoms of the toilets. We can't find anyone who will tell us what's 
wrong or when it might be fixed.
