Stop at the gatehouse and tell the attendant that you and your child are participating in a research study at the Institute for Learning and Brain Sciences (I-LABS). The gatehouse staff might be more familiar with our location as the "Old Fisheries" building. The attendant will ask you to pay $12.00 for parking (which will be refunded before you leave. The parking attendant will refund cash payments only) and will give you a permit for the S-1 parking garage. To get into the S-1 parking garage, make a right turn and then a quick left turn after leaving the gatehouse.
Drive into the middle level of the three levels (it has a railing, and once in it you will see it is marked as "Level M"), and go as far as you can toward the opposite end before parking. At the southeast end of level M (the far end from where you entered, and towards the water), please note the signs and ramp leading up to the glass doors of the Fisheries Building. There is a sign by the door identifying the Institute for Learning and Brain Sciences. After you park, you will want to find your way back here.
Proceed to the designated parking spots (see picture). Park your car in a spot labeled EEU/CHDD/ILABS/BLODEL, and leave your parking card displayed on the dashboard.
Walk back to the I-LABS entrance, and enter the door with the "Institute for Learning and Brain Sciences Main Entrance" sign beside it. There will be a reception desk to your left when you enter the door. Tell the receptionist that you are here for the Early Childhood Cognition Lab, and she will page us. If you have any trouble following the directions en route or need to reach us, the lab’s phone number is (206) 616-6770.
