But growth never happens without a degree of inconvenience. Developers and the City of Lubbock recently began an improvement project on 66th Street (the main artery of traffic that runs by the THF building on the south). The project will involve the widening of the road between Iola Avenue and Milwaukee. We have been told to expect 66th street to be out of commission for 120 days, which means through the end of the year and into January, the THF family will need to access the THF campus by alternate means (helicopters come to mind...)
The good news is that there is plenty of access to the THF campus and actually "Getting There..." is pretty simple. Traffic will never be a problem since the THF campus can be easily accessed from multiple directions. See the map below.
From the west - access is extremely simple (follow the blue arrows on the map): Come east from Milwaukee on the Spur 327 access road. At Justice Avenue, turn right (south) and continue up the street until you can enter the THF parking lot on the west side of the building. (Note: if you miss the Justice turn, you can still turn right on Iola Avenue and enter from the east side too.)
From the east - access is only slightly less simple, and that only because it's a little more obscure. Everything funnels through Iola Avenue (follow the green arrows on the map). The intersection at Iola and 66th will be accessible from three sides (east, north, and south) throughout the duration of the project. Proceding north of this intersection on Iola, you turn west (left) between the two office strips (don't turn into the parking lot of the office strips) onto the unmarked drive (Meers Mazda is located just across the street on the east from this turn). The "unmarked drive" curves around the parking lot for the State of Texas Health Services Department and deadends into Justice Avenue. Turn left on Justice and proceed to the THF campus.
THF leadership is currently working on getting signs erected to make "Getting There" even more simple. We appreciate your patience and understanding during this exciting time of growth. This we know: It's definitely worth it.
