WAYS TO GET HERE (UBC Music Building, 6361 Memorial Road):


... by BUS / FOOT

- take the 99 B-Line or any bus that says “UBC” on it
- get off at the very last stop (UBC bus loop)
- walk towards the corner of East Mall and Memorial Road so that:

Brock Hall - West Wing is behind you 
(http://www.maps.ubc.ca/PROD/index_detail.php?show=y,n,n,n,n,y&bldg2Search=n&locat1=112)

Buchanan Tower is to your right
(http://www.maps.ubc.ca/PROD/index_detail.php?show=y,n,n,n,n,y&bldg2Search=n&locat1=120)

Irving K. Barber Learning Centre (or “Main Library”) is on your left
(http://www.maps.ubc.ca/PROD/index_detail.php?show=y,n,n,n,n,y&bldg2Search=n&locat1=516)

- keep walking down Memorial Road

- if you pass that W. Robert Wyman concrete plaza thingie, you’re on the right track!
(http://www.maps.ubc.ca/PROD/index_detail.php?show=y,n,n,n,n,y&bldg2Search=n&locat1=N033)

- keep walking ahead, and keep your eyes peeled for the giant tuning fork (big brown metal thing that looks like a fat twig)
(http://www.maps.ubc.ca/PROD/index_detail.php?show=y,n,n,n,n,y&bldg2Search=n&locat1=575)

the music building is directly to its right! 



... by CAR / BATMOBILE:
 
(coming from the South, i.e. Richmond and other wayward places, tee hee.)
 
- take SW Marine Drive all the way down, baby.
- SW Marine Drive becomes NW Marine Drive
- as Marine Drive becomes less of a “highway” and more of a "winding road", on your left, you’ll see weird sketchy bushes concealing Wreck Beach. This is a good sign.
- you’ll drive by things like Totem Park residence, Lower Mall Research Station, and Place Vanier residence on your right. You’re getting close.
- you’ll see a sign for Nitobe Memorial Gardens on your right. You’re red-hot.
 
- Immediately keep your eyes peeled for West Mall, because that’s where you’ll be turning RIGHT
 
[If you pass by the Chan Centre, you’ve gone too far]
 
- You’re now on West Mall. Go straight for a brief distance until you hit Memorial Road.
 
- You can either turn left on Memorial Rd. into the parking lot and try to find meter parking
(the Music Building is at the top of the stairs at the end of this parking lot!)
 
- OR you can turn right on Memorial Rd. and park in the Fraser River Parkade ($3.50 Evening Flat Rate, I think.)
