Directions:	Due to possible delays with MoDOT, we recommend you refer to the MoDOT website or its real-time traffic website. If you are using GPS software, the address for the America’s Center is: 701 Convention Plaza, St. Louis, MO 63101. Driving to the America's Center from campus Take I-64 (US 40) east toward downtown St. Louis. Use Exit 40B "Broadway & 6th Street - Last Missouri Exit". Turn left on Gratiot. Proceed 2 blocks on Gratiot to 4th Street, turn left. Proceed 14 blocks on 4th Street to Convention Plaza, turn left. Proceed 3 blocks on Convention Plaza to 7th Street. You will be at the Convention Plaza Entrance at America’s Center - marked “Ferrara Theater”. The entrance to a Parking Garage is on the right side of 7th Street.

You will be at the Convention Plaza Entrance at America’s Center - marked “Ferrara Theater”. Note: We strongly advise against using the Washington Avenue Entrance (at 8th Street and considered by many as the main entrance) as it requires a much longer walk to the Ferrara Theater. Driving from the America's Center to campus Commuters can expect extra traffic due to the Cardinals baseball game which begins at 7:15 pm. Exiting the garage, turn right onto 7th Street and proceed to Washingon Ave. * Note: An alternative route from the parking garage would be to turn left onto 7th Street, right on Convention Plaza, proceed Broadway and turn right.
