I think Lanzagranadas might be on to something here.
The following map shows the locations of what I believe to be several major Raccoon landmarks. If Birkin's lab is connected to the P-12A facility, it must be in the vicinity of where I placed it. Similarly, if the Umbrella HQ from "End of the Road" is also connected to the lab via elevator, it must also be nearby. We know that the vacant factory and Birkin's lab are connected, as is the factory to the Arklay treatment plant seen in 0.
This would make the tram ride from the sewers near the RPD quite a long one, but nothing else makes sense.
The hospital's sewers also connect to Birkin's lab, as noted in an Outbreak file. "Five minutes" is tough to gauge; was the mode of transport a boat? If so, the distance above could be possible. Furthermore, if we assume that the Outbreak cast traveled from the hospital directly to Birkin's lab using the sewers, it would place them in the emergency escape tunnel (presumably the same one Leon, Claire, and Sherry used several days later to escape). This is shown with the red line heading northeast. When Leon and friends escaped from the tunnel, the sun was shining opposite the tunnel and it was morning, implying they emerged facing roughly east.
I'm guessing that the "chemical plant" that Sherry mentions is the P-12A facility. For all she knew, mommy and daddy Birkin just walked in the chemical plant every day, unaware that they actually worked in a top-secret lab underground.
Finally, the blue line heading directly east from the vacant factory leads to the management training facility (more specifically Marcus's lab beneath the church). Where exactly that is located is beyond me.
