Access to the seminar room: Due to a construction site, access to the main entrance is not obvious: Please refer to the following map: https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=16mEtQXetbcNAr7GM5Sxl5P1QreuCdRk&usp=sharing
Coming from the west (point A), walk along the northern side of the building in east direction to the construction site (blue line on the map), go up the stairs to the main entrance. In the main entrance hall, go the white staircase up to the first floor. You will be directly in front of the seminar room (see red markers on the map).
