Building orientation for main office

|
My office is located at MindBright in Ritchie Mill at 10171 Saskatchewan Drive, suite 202 NW, Edmonton, Alberta T6E 4R5.
There is free lot parking out front (the parking lot says private but it belongs to the building so you can park there). To enter the building, climb the stairs to the main entrance on floor 2 (main floor). After entering the lobby there is a door to your right. Go through this door to find the waiting area. I will come and get you here at your appointment time. If you prefer, you are welcome to wait in the building lobby on the wooden bench or in the large seating area on floor 4. If you wait in one of these locations please let me know where you are by text or by email. You will find unlocked bathrooms on floor 4 which is accessible by elevator (after exiting the elevator turn right and go through the kitchenette). If your appointment is after 5 PM the building doors will be locked. Please dial 8003 on the intercom after 10 to the hour and I will buzz you in. You may leave your coat and shoes in the closet in the waiting area or bring them with you into the office. Please remove shoes before entering the office. |
