The meeting will be held in rm 2400 of the Computer Space Science (CSS) Building (bldg 224) (H5 on the campus map). Rm 2400 is on the second floor of wing 4 of CSS. Wing 4 is in fact a separate building and much newer looking (and is highlighted in blue on the map below). It is the building pictured here.

Parking

  • Free Parking will be available in all numbered (not lettered) lots. This color-coded map shows numbered lots as being those in yellow and purple. The closest is Lot 5 which is the top most level of the garage across the street from CSS. Lot 2f is on the other side. Then there are the lots down by the Comcast Center (Lots 9 and 11).
  • General Parking is also available at the Visitor's Lot located on Paint Branch Drive and the Visitor's lot located further up Stadium Drive near Byrd Stadium. Payment is collected at the digital pay stations.
  • There is an interactive map that might be useful to preplan the route to walk from whatever lot you park in to wing 4 of CSS.
