Directions to room A-371 of the VAMC

1) Once arriving at the VAMC we suggest that you park in one of the visitor spaces on the West side of the hospital. The West side faces the University Medical Center and the entrance has a large blue awning.

2) Upon entering the hospital you will see striped lines on the floor. These lines lead to a bank of three elevators. Take the elevator to the third floor.

3) Upon exiting the elevator you will see a bulletin board. Turn right and walk down the hallway where you will see signs listing the names of many hospital clinics.

4) At these signs turn right again and immediately take the first hallway on the left. If you went through a set of double doors and saw a waiting area, you have gone too far.

5) Turn right at the first hallway you come to. You will see room A-371 on your left.
