Where exactly is this classroom?

This space can be tricky to find – but don’t give up! As you enter the Universtiy of Alberta hospital at street level from the 112 street (East) entrance, look to the left for a set of double doors and an escalator/staircase. If you enter from the 114th Street (West) entrance, walk through the hospital all the way towards the 112 Street entrance and look to your right for the double doors and escalator/stairs.

Take the escalator/stairs to the second floor. There is also an elevator to the right of the stairwell off the main hallway .Turn to your left and make a U-turn, proceeding along the hall (following the crosswalk style lines on the floor), across a small walkway that looks over the entrance below; this brings you into the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry space. Classroom D is on your left, across from the washrooms.

Signage with the ADHD Association of Greater Edmonton logo will be placed to help you find your way.
