Dear
Nanotechnology Institute Participant,
We are looking forward to seeing you in two weeks at the Institute and
have a few pieces of final information for you.
First, we should emphasize that parking on campus
is strictly regulated. We have outlined where you should park
depending on whether you are commuting or staying in the dorms and how
to obtain the necessary permit. Please be sure to stay within
those parameters; they do ticket and tow!
1) We will be meeting at 8:30 AM Monday in the lobby of the beautiful
new Integrated Sciences Building on North Pleasant Street.(see
http://www.umass.edu/visitorsctr/Campus_Map/) We will have registration
at 8:30 on the first day along with breakfast and then start promptly
at 9:00.
DORM People
2) If you are arriving Sunday evening and staying in the dorms, go
straight to the North Residential area (see
http://www.umass.edu/visitorsctr/Campus_Map/)
and check in at the main desk (Building C). They will assign you
a room and give you your week-long parking pass. If you are arriving on
Monday morning, please also park near the North Residential area and if
you have time pick up your parking pass in Building C and then do the
full room check-in later that day during a break or lunch. If you are
running late you can leave your car in the North Residential Area lot
and go back during a break to get the parking pass. You cannot park in
the lot we designate below for commuters as we do not have enough
parking passes for that lot available for our dorm people.
3) Note that the dorm rooms are singles in unisex suites; do not bring
a spouse or other guest along. We can provide information about hotel
rooms (at an additional cost to you) if you have a guest with you.
COMMUTERS
3) Commuters arriving on Monday morning should park in lot 43 on North Pleasant Street (see
http://www.umass.edu/visitorsctr/Campus_Map/). You need a permit/pass
to park in that lot. We will have those available for you at our
conference registration table. You will have to come into the
lobby of the ISBuilding to register and get your parking pass to put in
your car early on Monday morning. Please allow an extra 15 minutes to
do this on the first morning.
4) Bring in your digital camera and/or laptop if you have them on
Monday; we will use them. Also make sure that you have whatever is
needed to transfer the images from your camera to the computer. If you
don’t have a camera or laptop, that is not a problem.
6) There will be a barbeque at Rob Snyder's house on Tuesday evening.
Guests are also welcome that night. We will be asking for RSVP's for
that on Monday morning.
7) Further information about Amherst and the campus is available at this
