3rd Annual New York/New England

Granular Materials Workshop

Thursday, June 9, 2005

Wesleyan University, Middletown, CT


 

Location of workshop parking (Mapquest):  U lot at the intersection of Fountain and Pine (It says faculty/staff only, but public safety assured me there would be no problems in the summer)  You can also often find space on the street around the science center during the summer.

 

Location of the workshop (Mapquest):  Exley Science Tower, 265 Church St., Middletown, CT

The main lobby of Science Center has doors towards both the front and back.  The workshop will be downstairs in room 58--there are stairs leading down in the center of the main lobby.
