Riffe Center Information

Enter the Riffe Center through the doors on High Street (corner of High and State) and check in at the
information desk straight back to the right to get a sticker badge. You cannot enter the Riffe Center from
State Street; that is an employee only entrance.

Go through the security checkpoint, which requires a metal detector. All bags, phones, keys, &c. will go
through an x-ray scanner. Take the escalators up (2 sets) to the elevator lobby (you can avoid these by
inquiring at the desk if you have a mobility constraint). Take the elevators to the 31st Floor. Your floor is
selected at the elevator call screen; there are no buttons in the elevator. Conference Room South B will
be on the south side of the building to the right of the elevator lobby

Parking

Parking is at the Riffe Center garage, entrance is off Front St. or you can park under the State House
(access via WB East Broad St. or SB 3rd St.). There is a tunnel under High Street from this garage (Green
Level, level -1) to the Huntington Center (directions below).

Directions from the State House Underground Parking to the Riffe Center

Go to the center western staircase and go to the Green Level (Level -1). This will connect with a tunnel
that will take you under High Street. The tunnel from the Statehouse enters into an underground hallway
with a couple shops in it. You take the hall south (left) past the gift shop and enter the Riffe Center
through a revolving door. Take the stairs on the left to the street level and check in at the information
desk as described above. Alternately, you can take the stairs to street level, cross at one of the
intersections, and enter the Riffe Center through the doors on High Street.
