Directions:

Cisco Systems' Ann Arbor office is located in the upper floors of:

Key Bank
100 S. Main St.
Ann Arbor, MI 48104

This is the intersection of Main and Huron in downtown Ann Arbor, about half a block north of the old Cisco office. Use the side entrance; trying to gain entry at the front door would not be a good idea.

Getting to Downtown Ann Arbor: From M-14, take Main St. exit; from US-23 take Washtenaw, which turns into Huron; from I-94 east of town take Ann Arbor-Saline Rd. which turns into Main St.; from I-94 west of town take Jackson Rd. which turns into Huron.

A map is available at http://www.semislug.mi.org/directions/ for those unfamiliar with downtown Ann Arbor.
