Please note: There will be on-going construction at 5757 Wilshire for the foreseeable future. We encourage you to give yourself extra time to park and enter the building. For the most reliable option, we suggest you enter and exit the parking structure off of Masselin Ave. Depending on the amount of cars you may need to park on the top of the structure.
