ANTS VI Information for participants

Campus Map

Map of campus (pdf format) Note that on this map North is toward the left side of the map.

Probably the best landmark on campus is the large teaching hospital (Fletcher Allan Heath Care). It is on the north side of the main campus.

Residence Hall

ANTS participants who are staying in the university residence hall will be in Marsh/Austin/Tupper hall. Marsh/Austin/Tupper hall is located on the south side of the main campus, almost directly south from the hospital. Automobile access is via Spear Street. (You probably need to use the zoom feature of your pdf reader in order to read the building labels.)

From the parking lot, you will either need to walk around the building to reach the main entrance, or if you enter from the parking lot you will have to go up one flight of stairs. Residence hall staff will be available from 3-7 pm on Saturday to help with checking into the residence hall. Information on whom to contact outside of these hours will be emailed to all registered participants.

Parking

The parking lot to be used by ANTS participants will be the parking lot closest to the residence hall, Marsh/Austin/Tupper hall. Parking is free during the weekend but during the week you will need a parking pass. Pre-ordered parking passes can be picked up at the opening reception of the conference.

Opening Reception

The opening reception of the ANTS conference will take place Saturday from 6-8 pm in the Atrium on the ground floor of the Given Medical Building. The Given Medical Building is located just south of the hospital. It is approximately a five minute walk west from the Marsh/Austin/Tupper residence hall.

At the opening reception, registered participants will be able to pick up their meeting materials (nametag, conference proceedings, parking permit, banquet ticket, etc.). Late registration will also be available at the opening reception.

Light finger food and drinks will be served at the opening reception.

Talks

All of the talks of the conference (with the exception of Friday) will take place in the Carpenter Auditorium of the Given Medical Building. The Given Medical Building is located just south of the hospital.

The Carpenter Auditorium seats approximately 300 people. The usual complement of audiovisual equipment will be available - chalk and chalkboard, overhead projector and screen, projector for laptops. (If giving an electronic talk, we recommend you bring your own laptop).

On Friday, the conference will move to a room 101 in the Fleming Museum. The Fleming Museum is just west of the hospital.
