The observatory is known as the best kept secret on campus. We hope to change that.
Location of Davis Hall to IL-38 and to buildings on campus.
Davis Hall is located Northeast of the NIU parking garage. Parking is available in the garage after 7:00 pm.
After you have located Davis Hall, head to the West entrance located along Normal Road. This entrance is closest to the elevator. From this entrance the elevator will be on your right once you reach the main hallway. There is also a map of the building located near the elevator for your convenience.
To get to the observatory take the elevator to the 5th floor. Once you reach the 5th floor, exit the elevator and proceed down the left hallway to the end and turn right. Continue down this hallway until you reach a door with a push bar to your left. Head through the door and you will see a staircase and a sign pointing to the observatory. Head up the stairs to room 703, and you will have arrived at the observatory.
