Marin General's own map and directions to the hospital.
From Route 101, go west on Sir Francis Drake Boulevard. On Sir Francis Drake Boulevard, proceed past the Bon Air Shopping Center (on the left) up the hill. Bon Air Drive is 1/4 mile beyond the top of the hill, you make a left turn. Bon Air curls around to the left. The first driveway entrance is for the emergency room, the second driveway is closer to the meeting room. You can park either in the oval with the palm trees immediately to your left, or go on behind the building. The meeting is in the Medical Library on the Second Floor.
The emergency driveway goes approximately east, and the second driveway goes approximately north, due to the curvature of Bon Air. If the deceptive curvatures don't disorient you, the building layout will.
The building is a beautiful architectural maze. Driveways curve around blind corners, and there are many odd angles in the building.
The main entrance has a glass alcove; you enter walking towards the north, and turn 90 degrees to the west towards the main doors and desk. At the main desk, you walk north and then west to the elevators. Go to the second floor. Here's where I"m completely lost. I believe you go to your right (west) from the elevators, and find a non-obvious hallway that proceeds north (right). Go a few hundred feet down this hallway, and turn left (west) again, proceed another 200 feet past the switchboards and a glassed in passageway to the medical library, on the left. These directions agree with the map, I just feel disoriented when I'm doing them.
You can pick up any phone in the building and dial 0 to get help and directions.
It is possible to park behind the hospital, and use the entrance next to the switchboard; it's a shorter walk to the room. Use the same second driveway, but proceed as far down it as possible until it curves sharply left. Enter the building at the back and turn right, the medical library is on the left, in a few hundred feet.
Lee's Favorite: There is also a tiny parking oval halfway between the back parking area and the front palm tree oval, which reaches the "Outpatient Entrance" also called the "Surgery Center Entrance". From this entrance, go down the hallway to the left, proceed past a bank of windows, and the library will be on your left. There's less parking in this lot, but it's harder to get lost on the way to the room.
