Alice in GrassyLotsLand (at IUPUI)

Yesterday I headed to Indianapolis to meet an academic advisor and check out the campus apartments. As the meeting with the advisor came to an end he recommended that I go to the Cavanaugh (spelling?) building to check out my term activation. He told me the building was right across the grassy lot. I left his office, went down the elevator and found myself facing 2 large grassy lots. One was to my left and one was to my right with large buildings at the end of both. Now, I love Alice in Wonderland, but this was my first very noticable Alice in Wonderland moment.
I crossed the grassy lot to the building to the right. I got to the building to the right and it was the wrong one. I turn around and faced the building I just left (I had walked east and was now facing west) to find another group of grassy lots with large buildings in several areas. After walking for about 30 minutes I realized that I was going farther from my parking lot and I really needed to go back the other way. I found the building...right next to my parking spot. My car had even been facing it.
