How to get to the meeting:

The location of the meeting will be the Neil John Maclean Health Science Library, located on the mezzanine level of the Brodie Centre, 727 McDermot Avenue.

There are two parkades plus street parking available at the library: one off of Emily St and one off of Techumseh St, the Emily Street Parkade would be the best choice. There should be plenty of parking available on the 16th.

To get to the library enter through the doors of the Brodie Centre and go to the mezzanine level (stairs and elevators are to your left just past the bookstore. We will be meeting in the Ross Computer Lab, located on the main floor of the library. In case you are going to be late or you get lost you can call me on my cell at 299-5872.
