from the Airport: take Metrolink
The Metrolink stations are on the upper level near the entrance to B, C, and D concourses (schedule), and at the East Terminal (schedule) where Southwest Airlines flights arrive. There are vending machines to purchase a ticket for $4.00. Regular fares are $2.50 if purchased at any other station, but our considerate local government decided to tax incoming visitors.
Board the metrolink (it only goes in one direction from the Main terminal) and take the train to the Central West End station. The trip takes 21 minute and trains depart around every 10-20 minutes depending on the time of day. At Central West End station, go up the stairs to street level. You’ll be on Euclid avenue. Turn left and and continue past the Farrell Learning and Teaching center on a until you get to a large entrance on your left (660 S. Euclid avenue is the formal address).
As you enter 660 S. Euclid, the entrance to the Medical School Library on your right and a double clear glass door is also facing you on the right side of the desk. Go through that set of doors and take a right. Walk 10 yards or so and take the first left. 50 yards or so down that hall way (a court yard is on your right at this point), the hall open up into a lobby area on your right, and 4 sets of elevators on your left. Take anyone of those elevators to the fourth floor. The lab is on the North side of the floor. We are in 469 and 470 McDonnell.

Alternatively, turn left onto McKinley and look for meters on McKinley. McDonnel Sciences building will be on your left when you reach the stop sign on this street. If you can’t find parking on McKinley, turn right on Taylor at the end of the block and then left at the stop sign (clayton). Enter the Clayton parking structure on your left.
