Directions
- Park at the ramp at 4th and Grand, or drive around and find a spot on the street. (ramp parking costs $, street parking is free after 6).
- Come into the capital square building and take the escalator to the 2nd floor. (If you come in via the skywalk, you will already be on the second floor.)
- Walk around to where the elevators are, sign in, and take an elevator to the 8th floor.
- Walk towards the near wall, turn left and cross the little bridge. (The big bridge is the wrong way).
- Take the first left after you exit the small bridge. Do not turn left until after you have crossed the bridge.
We are in a conference room on the left, after you pass several rooms and cubes. Generally, you can just follow the noise.
