Directions to McBurney (1305 Linden Drive)

2009 Campus and City Construction Detours

Several campus and city construction projects will result in fluctuating closed streets and sidewalks. Several of these closures will be in close proximity to the McBurney office and are important to avoid. Please read the Construction Detours web site , as well as the recommendations below. Also, please note that due to construction the U-shaped sidewalk in front of the Medical Sciences Building on University Avenue is closed. We encourage visitors to call the Center a few days prior to their appointment to confirm their travel route. Please note that it is possible that some of the campus bus routes noted in the "General Directions" below may be re-routed due to construction. See Madison Metro's web site for bus route information.

Recommendations for Travel

• Plan your travel route and parking well in advance of visiting Madison.
• Avoid University Avenue. Park in the Steenbock Memorial Library ramp and travel 3 blocks to reach the McBurney office. The ramp has many available parking places, which require quarters for meters, as well as spaces where a person can use a state disability parking tag. If a student prefers to meet in Steenbock Library due to mobility concerns, s/he can request McBurney staff to schedule an appointment in that location.
• Park in Lot 20. A half day permit costs $8, and spaces are not guaranteed. Spaces for state disability parking tags are available. Lot 20 requires use of University Avenue, which will be very slow moving. If a visitor has mobility concerns, s/he can park in Lot 20 and use elevator to reach the accessible path that leads to McBurney.
• Park in Lot 21. The lot includes spaces where a visitor can use a state disability parking tag as well as 25 minute meters. Spaces are not guaranteed. To access Lot 21, a student will not be able to travel (by street) from University to Linden via Charter. Instead, s/he will need to access Linden Drive from the west (e.g. traveling west on University Ave; exit to the right on Babcock Drive; take a right on Linden Drive).
