To get to the UW campus
Via TAXI:
Our Academic Offices are located at 1959 NE Pacific St, Room BB561
You can tell the taxi to take you to the UW Medical Center and they should know where that is. Once you are in the UW Medical Center, take the Pacific elevators to the fifth floor and go left (thru the giant metal doors). We will be on your left.Via SHUTTLE FROM WATERTOWN or HOTEL DECA:
The Health Sciences Shuttle picks you up in front of the UW Roosevelt Clinic at 4245 Roosevelt Way NE (just south of 43rd). Take the Shuttle to UWMC (not the one to Harborview).
Once at the UWMC, take the elevators up to the 3rd floor. Go around the elevators (towards the gift shop) continue down the long hallway, passing the information booth on your left. Take the Pacific elevators to the fifth floor and go left (thru the giant metal doors). We will be on your left.
Note: Technically we are not in the hospital; we are in the health science bldg which is attached to it. -
