From the parking ramp, take the elevators to “L”. Exit elevator and head straight ahead. Take a right at “225 Barbers”  heading down the skyway toward Ameriprise. You are now in the Star Tribune Building. At this point you will see a sign hanging from the ceiling that says “Business Center-3rd Floor” with an arrow pointing to the elevators. Take these elevators to the 3rd floor.
