The DWC recently began
holding contested case hearings in Austin at the new Barbara Jordan Building in
the Capital Complex, located at 1601 Congress Avenue. However, parking
and entering the building is so complicated that it prompted DWC to create the
following instructional video:

The video discusses parking options “if you are driving to your Austin
hearing.” Due to the parking situation, you might consider some easier
alternatives than driving like taking the bus or an e-scooter. The video
also reminds participants not to show up more than 15 minutes before the
hearing because they won’t be allowed in the building before then.
Here is actual video showing the dire consequences when one injured worker
arrived too early for his hearing in Austin:

SLS scoped out the situation and after reaching several dead ends and
approaching multiple locked entrances, confirmed that the new Austin digs are
indeed a veritable maze due to the ongoing construction and construction fences
surrounding the building.
Therefore, to help you find your way we’ve created a map to simplify
matters:
Good luck trying to find your way in! And be sure not to arrive too early for
that CCH.
