Walk in the main corridor past the B elevators and follow the signs for Osen Auditorium. It will be past the surgical suite on the 1st floor. 10th floor rooms: Go back up to the main hospital level and walk down the hallway towards your left with large glass windows on your left hand side, towards the B elevator bank, which will be the first set of elevators on your right. Take those to the 10th floor and make your way to these rooms, if you’ve hit the cafeteria then you’ve gone the wrong direction. •	8	9	10
