Getting there

Prime Digital Academy is located at 301 4th Ave South #577, at the corner of 4th Ave S and 3rd St S, in the north building of the Minneapolis Grain Exchange. The building doors lock at 6pm, so either get there early, or look for a person or sign on the door with instructions on who to call to get let in.

We recommend public transit or biking - Prime is located one block from the Government Plaza light rail station, many bus stops (see below), and a couple bike-friendly roads.

• Bus: the 3, 7, 16, 50, 94 bus lines run along 4th St. Prime is also a block over from the Gateway Ramp and Transit Hub, which is a terminal for many urban and suburban bus lines.
• Bike: There isn't indoor bike parking, so you'll need to lock up outside.
• Car: If you're driving, we recommend parking in the Gateway ramp, where we've got coupons for discounted parking. But parking is also available on the street or in the Haaf ramp.
