Thirty rooms have been reserved at a true government rate at the Best Western in the Med Center. It's within "easy walking distance" of McMurty Hall. Buses will provide early morning travel from the Med Center to the workshop site. Starting within fifteen minutes of the close of the day's sessions, buses will return our visitors to the Med Center. Thus, you won't need to find a parking place on campus or the money to pay for campus parking. The decision about having a car in the first place depends on what you plan to do while in town.
