As we have moved to our new facility in Broomfield  (the address is 17101 Huron Street, Broomfield CO 80023), we are not yet on Google Maps, Mapquest, and such. If coming from Denver, go north on I-25 and take exit 229 (Lafayette/Brighton). At the stop light on the top of the ramp, turn left onto what is Highway 7, cross over the interstate, and take the first right turn, about a 1/8 mile from the interstate. This is the right turn only lane so please go into that lane.  Unfortunately, there is no sign up for facility but we are the large blue/white building to the northwest. If you go past the Children’s Hospital, which is also on Highway 7, you have gone too far.

There are two Huron street signs but you need to turn on the one that goes north and not the one that goes south.  Please call (303) 604-4740 if you have problems.
