When you arrive

Parking:  Two-hour street parking and meters are available in the area surrounding our office.  The lot in the back of the building is reserved for building tenants.  Parking in the lot next to Fairyland is $2.00 for the first two hours, $10.00 for the day, Monday through Friday, and $5.00 for the day on weekends. 

Building entry:  The front door to the building is generally open Monday through Friday, 8:30 am to 6:00 pm.  To open the front door, just push hard, do not try to turn the handle; if locked, enter #–2–0–1 on the push-button pad to the left of the door and we will buzz you in.

Finding our office suites:  Our office, Suite 201, is on the second floor.  Walk up one flight on the right-hand staircase and the suite is the first door on your left.  Our conference room in suite 201 is at the far end of the hallway. 

Wheelchair access:  Use one of the narrow driveways on either side of the building to get to the door at the back.  The back door is open during normal business hours: Monday–Friday, 8:30 am to 6:00 pm.  Otherwise, make sure we are expecting you so that we can come downstairs to assist you with the elevator.  The elevator will be just inside the door to your right.  Press and hold the call button until you hear the elevator move.  The elevator doors are not automatic and are rather cumbersome, so it’s best to have help.  In the elevator, press and hold the
2nd floor button until the elevator moves. Our suite, 201, is opposite the elevator on the 2nd floor.
