Building locations

The physics department is located in two buildings. One is the Roy F. Mitte building (RFM) which houses the departmental office, research labs, and faculty offices. The second is the Jerome and Cathy Supple Science Building (SUPP) which houses a lecture hall, physics stockroom and lower division laboratories. The Supple building was previously known as the Science building. Campus maps can be found here.

DIRECTIONS TO THE ROY F. MITTE and SCIENCE BUILDINGS

  • From I-35S, take the Aquarena Springs Dr. exit. (number 206).
  • Proceed west (right) on Aquarena Springs Dr.
  • Right turn on Sessoms Dr. (stop light)
  • Left turn on Comanche (all way stop). If you get to Academy street or the large water tower with TxState on it then you've gone too far.
  • Right turn on Vista (it's a one-way street, immediately after you pass under a pedestrian bridge overhead and it's easy to miss)
  • Take 1st driveway right into parking lot of Science Building. The Roy F. Mitte building (RFM) is behind science. To park closest to RFM, just drive around the building towards the left and park at the end of the parking lot. There are some outside stairs that lead up to RFM.
