  Baker 103 is a bit tucked away in the Bloomberg Center, and behind a locked door. It is easier to get in from the WEST side of the building; a door will be open for easy access. 
 
If you are familiar with Baker 102, then as you enter the Faculty Commons, Baker 102 is first door on right, and Baker 103 is on the other side of commons.
