How to get to AHSL Tucson

 
 

Direction to AHSL Tucson from the Tucson International Airport:

From the Airport, travel north on Tucson Boulevard, pass Valencia, Drexel and Irvington. (Tucson Boulevard becomes Benson Highway at Irvington.)  Turn right (north) at Kino Parkway.

Continue north on Kino Parkway passing Ajo Way, 36th Street, Silverlake, 22nd Street, 15th Street and Broadway. At the Broadway intersection, Kino Parkway changes to Campbell Avenue.  Continue north on Campbell Avenue, past University Boulevard/3rd Street and Speedway Boulevard.

On Campbell, about two and a half blocks north of Speedway, you will see the Arizona Health Sciences Center on your left.  Turn left into the Center's entrance and turn left again immediately.  On your right is the entrance to the Patient & Visitor Parking Garage. Alternatively, metered parking is available in the parking lot on the corner of Helen and Martin and in the parking lot off of Cherry Avenue south of Drachman ($1.00/hour; meter takes quarters, dimes and nickel; there is a 4 hour limit).

To reach the library, enter University Medical Center hospital at its main entrance.  Go past the elevators and turn left (south) into the hospital’s main corridor.  Continue down the corridor almost to the end. A short hall leading to the library’s entrance is at the end of the corridor on your right.

Directions to AHSL Tucson from Interstate 10 (I-10):

Note: I-10 is currently being widened and none of the exits between Prince Road and 29th street are available for use.  These exits are scheduled to remain closed until approximately Spring 2010.

Directions for passenger or package pickup or drop off at AHSL

Make your way to the corner of Drachman and Cherry Avenue (see map).  Proceed east on Drachman to the turn around.  This is the closest point by vehicle to the library.  No parking is allowed, but quick passenger or package pickup or drop off is allowed.  Be sure to pre-arrange any package pick up or drop off.

Alternatively metered parking is available in the parking lot just southeast of the traffic turn around.  Enter the parking lot from Cherry Avenue.  Meters are located near the northeast corner of the lot ($1.00/hour; meter takes quarters, dimes and nickels; there is a 4 hour limit).
