UCLA's main campus is bounded by Sunset Blvd. on the North and Le Conte Ave. on the South; the East border is Hilgard Ave. and the West border is Gayley Ave. The UCLA Animation Workshop is in Melnitz Hall in the Northeast corner of campus near the intersection of Sunset Blvd. and Hilgard Ave.

The most direct route is 405 (San Diego Freeway) to Sunset Blvd. East, but please anticipate traffic, and parking is extremely limited, especially on weekdays during the regular academic year.

The UCLA Animation Workshop, the James Bridges Theater, and most classrooms in the UCLA Department of Film, Television & Digital Media are located within Melnitz Hall, in the Northeast corner of the UCLA campus, near the Broad Art Center, Macgowan Hall, and the Murphy Sculpture Garden.

There are actually two adjacent, similarly-named buildings, Melnitz and East Melnitz, but the Animation Workshop facilities are in Melnitz (NOT East) on the 2nd Floor to the left as you come out of the elevator. The entrance to the James Bridges Theater is on the west side of Melnitz Hall.
