We are at...

Room 4 - 1701 Classroom Building
1701 University Ave SE in Dinkytown
(Minneapolis East Bank Campus)


The 1701 Classroom Building is located opposite the Bell Museum and just minutes from the Mall, Coffman, and more. We are on the intersection of 17th [Church St] and University Ave.
For all you alumni - our building was once the Newman Center.



By Train
The only way to really get to a railroad club!
Take the Hiawatha Line to the Downtown East - Metrodome station.
Transfer to a Route 16 or 50 bus to the U. Get off at Coffman, walk over to the Church St stoplight, cross and continue for four blocks.


By Bus
Don't want to worry about parking or the ever-evil rush hour? Take the bus!
Proud to have over 35 routes serving the campus and surrounding neighborhoods - it is cheap, good for the environment, and you'll never forget where you parked. This is basic way to get you started, we really recommend the Transit Trip Planner to get all of your transit needs done!

By car
Glutton for punishment in the form of no parking and lousy traffic?

From I-35 - get off at Universtiy, go south to campus
From I-94 - Get off at Huron, continue on it to 4th [they sort of merge]
From 280 - Get off on University, go west. Universtiy and 4th split at Huron into one-ways, take 4th if you know what is good for you.
MAPS

Always nice to have! We are just barely on it, the very bottom left with the arrow. Green spots indicates parking, not cheap parking but parking none the less...


And the freeway map for the bigger view...
