To visit the Biomedical Sciences Building, located at 1275 Center Drive, the easiest method is to walk or ride a bike. Second to that would be to take advantage of Gainesville’s phenomenal bus system. Routes 1, 8, 9, 12, 22, 25, 33, 35, 36, 37, 38, 43, 117, 121, and 122 will all take you to the bus stop located in front of the building or right across the street. If you must drive a motor vehicle, you can park in one of the three 30-minute parking spaces located in front of the building, or you can park in one of the parking garages located around Shands Hospital for an $7 fee. However you arrive, once you see the two, large Canary Island Date Palms in the circle in front of the building, you’ll know you’re close.
