Directions to Omnilore at Beach Cities Health Center (also known as Beach Cities Health District)

Omnilore's New Home as of AUGUST 1, 2016

Beach Cities Health Center/District — 514 N. Prospect Avenue, Redondo Beach

OMNILORE'S NEW HOME:  On August 1, 2016, all Omnilore classes and many of our other activities will move from the Edison Center to new classrooms in the Beach Cities Health Center (BCHC) campus (aka Beach Cities Health District, BCHD), which is located at 514 N. Prospect Avenue in Redondo Beach.  BCHC/BCHD is on the east (actually northeast) side of N. Prospect Ave. which bends Northwest/Southeast there.   Driving from the north, BCHD is approx. 0.3 mile south of 190th/Anita or 0.1 mi. south of Beryl.   Driving from the south, it is 1 mile north of Torrance Blvd. or about 0.3 mi. north of Del Amo Blvd.  Look for the street sign saying "Beach Cities Health District" (and an arrow) at the stop light; this is the main entrance to the complex and several parking options.

OUR BCHC/BCHD NEIGHBORS:  We are sharing the campus with a variety of medical facilities and seniors organizations, plus a day-care center and a health club (gym), making for a compatible fit with Omnilore. ;

OMNILORE'S CLASSROOMS:  We have two dedicated classrooms (signage saying CSUDH "Suite A" and "Suite B") that are available to us for extended hours, 7 days a week, year-round – excepting CSUDH possibly scheduling an occasional evening or weekend Extension class in the rooms.  These two classrooms are on the lower (or "Basement") level of Building 514, as indicated on the satellite map (3rd image) below.  Suite A is the larger of the two and will accommodate at least 25 members comfortably, plus it has a walled-off storage area at the rear with a sink and counter, plus very ample space for storage cabinets, our equipment carts, and other types of storage.

PARKING:  There is ample parking, in two parking garages and many above-ground spaces on the BCHD campus.  The underground parking garage situated west/southwest of our Building 514 (with its entrance labeled "1" on the 3rd graphic below) is most likely to have open spaces, especially down at the 2nd and 3rd levels down.  See the annotated satellite-map (that 3rd graphic below) below for the parking garages and how to get from them into Building 514 and where our classrooms are from each entrance.

MAPQUEST:  Here is a Mapquest link to the Beach Cities Health Center/District campus, allowing you to enter your home address (or any other starting point) and then generating detailed driving directions for you by clicking the "Get Directions" button and entering your starting address.

OVERFLOW PARKING:  Occasionally the BCHC/BCHD parking shown above might be full, in which case the large above-ground parking lot to the north of the buildings is accessed by driving (1) between Buildings 514 and 520, or (2)  that south-most entrance off N. Prospect (south of the stop light) and driving around the east side of the #2-#3 parking garage, or (3) around the west side Building 520.  (Click Here for expanded aerial view showing this overflow parking and the driveways leading there through other parking lots.)
