Animania's free monthly screenings are usually
held in the Modern Languages Building, aka MLB, on the University of
Michigan's Central Campus. The MLB is on the corner of Thayer and
Washington. A convenient landmark to look for is the Burton Bell Tower,
which is right next to the MLB. Parking is available in various lots
around campus and in nearby downtown Ann Arbor.
Coming from Outside Ann Arbor?
We get lots of people from in and around Ann Arbor at every screening,
but we also get occasional guests from Detroit, Grand Rapids, Ohio,
Washington (the state -- really!), etc. So, if you're from out of town,
don't be afraid to come to one of our screenings, because you won't be
the only long-distance visitor. It might be a good idea to print out
the directions and the map, so you can look at them together.
Map and Directions
We have a map
of the University of Michigan's Central Campus with the MLB highlighted
to help you find it. Below are Animania's directions to the MLB from
the major freeways entering Ann Arbor.
From North of Ann Arbor
From I-96:
Take I-96 to US-23 South. When you get to just north of Ann Arbor, you
will have the option to go west to I-94 along M-14 West or to go east
towards Plymouth along M-14 East. US-23 follows M-14 East, so stay to
your left and follow US-23. After less than a mile, M-14 East splits
from US-23, so stay to your right and follow US-23. Take the second Ann
Arbor exit, Geddes Road, and turn right (west) at the light onto
Geddes. You will pass through a T-intersection with a light (go
straight), then travel along the Huron River for a little bit until you
come to the corner of Geddes and Huron Parkway. You'll want to go
straight at this intersection, and Geddes will now be called Fuller
(Ann Arbor is strange that way). Follow Fuller through several traffic
lights until you get to the corner of Fuller and Glen. This is a
T-intersection, where Fuller actually continues to the right, but
you'll want to go straight and follow Glen up the hill. Stay to your
right on Glen, and turn right at the corner of Glen and East Huron.
Once you're on East Huron, quickly move over to your left and take the
first left, which will be Fletcher. Then take your first right, which
will be East Washington. When you come to the three-way stop, you'll
have reached your destination, because the MLB will be on your left.
Now, good luck finding parking!
From M-14:
As you approach Ann Arbor, M-14 meets US-23 and you'll want to take
US-23 South. Take the second Ann Arbor exit, Geddes Road, and then
follow the directions above.
From South or Southeast of Ann Arbor
From I-94 (westbound) or US-23 (northbound), find your way to the US-23
/ I-94 interchange and take US-23 North. Exit on Washtenaw Avenue
heading toward Ann Arbor, and turn right to stay on Washtenaw. At one
point Washtenaw Avenue splits into Washtenaw and Stadium Boulevard;
stay to the far right and keep following Washtenaw onto the campus.
When you reach the corner of Washtenaw and North University, veer left
onto North University. Take a right at the corner of North University
and Thayer, and the MLB will be on your right.
From West of Ann Arbor
As you approach Ann Arbor, you will have two choices. You can follow
M-14 East around the north side of Ann Arbor until you get to US-23,
and then follow the directions for traveling From North of Ann Arbor.
Or, you can follow I-94 around the south side of Ann Arbor until you
get to the I-94 / US-23 interchange, and then follow the directions for
traveling From South or Southeast of Ann Arbor.
