How does loading/unloading work?
All heavy load-ins should occur via the loading dock and freight elevator.

The loading dock is located on the back side of the building on Fargo Street (just off of D street). Small carrying items should be brought in through the elevator from the parking garage, which runs up to the Galleria level. Please do not load in from the front hallway. NESEA will have volunteers available to assist with loading and unloading.
