Take the A, C or 1 subway train to West 168th Street, walk 1/2 block along 168th Street to 630 West 168th Street (College of Physicians and Surgeons).
Check in with the guard, tell them you are visiting Eric Hall (internal phone 5-5660). Get a pass, take the elevators up to the 11th floor. You'll be faced with a long corridor. Turn left, walk all the way to the end, and stop at VC 11-234.
