DIRECTIONS TO MBRB FROM UNC HOSPITALS (detouring construction sites):
MBRB is located between Thurston-Bowles and the future BRIC building (under construction) at the corner of West Drive and Mason Farm Road.
Walking from the hospitals, cross Manning Drive and enter Thurston Bowles on the FIRST floor (NOTE- the Dental School bridge is still under construction, but the main door is still accessible).
In Thurston Bowles, take the elevator to the SECOND floor, exit the elevator and either turn right and go through the Carolina Café OR exit the building and go around to the right (passing the Carolina Café) until you reach the courtyard between Thurston Bowles and MBRB.
