Chillin'

Chapman is a brand new building east of Sitterson, south of Phillips, west 
of Carroll and north of Venerable. once there was a parking lot; now there 
is Chapman. UNC maps lag construction...

+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.
