Directions to the Albert Coates Center

215 N. Dawson Street
Raleigh, NC 27603

Capital Blvd. becomes Dawson Street at the first traffic light where Lane St. crosses. The Albert Coates Local Government Center is the first building on the right after that traffic light. Turn right at the light onto Lane Street, and then turn into the parking lot on the left. Park on either side of the building. The front entrance faces Dawson Street.

If you’re coming from the other direction, Dawson Street is one-way, so, go down McDowell Street and turn left on Lane Street (also one-lane). Go one block on Lane Street, cross over Dawson Street and then turn left into the parking lot.
