Where's the Birmingham NIA?

[Sunday Girl]

I'm coming up to birmingham by train on thursday to see Moz, but still don't know where the NIA is. I've looked on the NIA website but it doesn't say whether it's right in the city centre or not, and they don't give any directions from the train station...how far is it from New Street? Is it within walking distance?
