Travel and accommodation

Transportation

Fort Collins is located about 70 miles north of Denver.  While the closest passenger airport is in Cheyenne, WY, the most convenient airport for most visitors will be Denver International.  From the airport, it is possible to get to Fort Collins by the Groome shuttle service or Landline shuttle service

Location of workshop

The workshop will take place in the Hammond Auditorium on the ground floor of the Physics Department in the Engineering building at CSU. It is a 15-20 mins walk from the Hilton (directions) and a 10 min walk from the Best Western (directions). The Hammond Auditorium is right next to the Focault Pendulum.

If you arrive at the engineering parking lot the Physics building is towards the left of the building right in front of you. You will arrive in the basement, go one floor up and straight, then left.
