Map and directions
The University of Washington interactive map provides a broad overview of UW and surrounding areas and will help you visualize where our program is located in reference to main campus. The screenshot below shows the area just south of UW’s main campus. The red arrows point to our location (BB wing) and the light rail/Husky stadium area.
We are located on the 8th floor of the BB wing of the Magnuson Health Sciences Center, which is part of the same complex as the University of Washington Medical Center-Montlake. The physical address is 1959 NE Pacific St. Seattle, 98195.
Find us by entering through the main hospital entrance pictured below. The hospital is undergoing construction and the walkway to the entrance/hospital lobby is rerouted. Please follow the signage.
Enter the hospital and proceed west (to your right) down the lobby until you see the Pacific Elevators. Take the elevators to the 8th floor. Exit the elevators and face the opposite wall, then head to the left through the double doors.
You have now entered the Health Sciences side of the building. Our classroom, BB804, is the first room on the right.
Transit
Dozens of bus routes serve the UW campus and the nearby University District, and the University of Washington Link Light Rail station is just a short walk away from the Magnuson Health Sciences Center. Learn more about transit options from UW Transportation Services.
Parking
Parking is free in most UW lots beginning at noon on Saturday. The exception to that is Triangle Parking, located directly across from the hospital. Parking in Triangle any day of the week will cost about $21.00. Please see the UW Transportation Services guest parking online information for details about parking on campus.
There is parking behind our building in the South Campus Garage, indicated with the blue arrow in the map above. If you park in the South Campus Garage, you will enter the building through the Plaza Café entrance.
After entering the Plaza Café, proceed through the cafeteria toward the exit to the left of the pay stations. As you leave the cafeteria, you will see a bank of elevators called the “BB” elevators. Take the elevators to the 8th floor. We’ll have signs posted to help you find your way.
