The meeting will take place in room 346 (the Visualization Laboratory) of the Lewis Science Library, Princeton, NJ. See the maps here and here. When you arrive at Lewis, follow signs for PICSciE rather than the library or classrooms; you'll need to take the elevator or stairs to the third floor.
We suggest booking hotel accommodation at the Nassau Inn, which is within convenient walking distance of the meeting venue. Please coordinate with Laurie Thomas when doing so. Note that we will provide a light breakfast at the meeting.
For directions to the campus, refer to the University website. The easiest option for visitors from outside the area is to fly to Newark Liberty International Airport, then take the NJ Transit train to Princeton Junction. From Princeton Junction, a shuttle train runs to central Princeton. The Lewis Library is a 20 minute walk from the station (NB Google Maps walking directions will send you on a circuitous route; in practice, you can cut fairly directly across the campus) alternatively, you may prefer to ride the (free) TigerTransit bus system.
Parking on campus between 08:00 and 17:00 is available in Lot 21 or Lot 23 (map). Between 17:00 and 02:00, most lots are open to visitors (excluding 8, 9 and 18). Refer to the University's information on visitor parking and directions to the public lots.
Nearest (commercial) source of coffee is on the second floor of the Frist Campus Center (5 minutes walk).
