ES2001 - Thirteenth Annual Workshop on Recent Developments in
Electronic Structure Algorithms
Accommodation
|
| |
Accommodation (included in the registration fee) is in single rooms
with semi-private baths (two rooms to a bath) in
Scully Hall, a nice air-conditioned dorm of Princeton University
very close to the conference venue.
A small number of double-occupancy rooms with two beds and a private bath
may be available. Please note that linens are provided, but
toiletries are not (soap, shampoo, toothpaste...). A proximity card will
be given to every participant, to be carried with them; this results in
automagical opening of the Scully doors. If
other hotel accommodation is desired, the best strategy is to register
as a local participant (i.e. no lodging) and make independent bookings
in some of the area hotels, listed at the end of this
linked Web page.
Note that the Nassau Inn and the Peacock Inn are the only ones within
walking distance.
Meals will be in
Wilcox Hall, just behind the dorms. Every participant will have a
personal swipe card for all breakfasts and lunches
included in the conference fee (3 breakfasts and 3 lunches, Sat-Sun-Mon.
Local participants do not get breakfasts.).

Locations

The conference is held in
McDonnell Hall, room AO1.
The dorms and the conference site
are on either side of Washington Road; compare
the Princeton map (the red star points to Scully Hall)
with the campus maps:
It's probably useful to print out a campus map:
To navigate Princeton during
the conference, you will need three roads: Nassau Street
(Micawber bookshop, Triumph microbrewery, and the Lindt store and the
international newsagent in Palmer Square),
Washington Road (the eastern boundary of the campus), and Witherspoon
Street (Small World cappuccinos, some fancy restaurants).

Parking
| |
Lot 21 is the designated parking lot.
It can be found south of the stadium, in grey, on the
printable campus map.
During the weekend this lot is open at daytime to the general public.
For Monday or Friday afternoon, or for nighttime, a parking permit
is required. This will be provided upon request at registration.
All exterior parking lots of the University are available to
the general public during the weekend, at daytime.
These include the smaller lots 25 and 4, closer to the conference
site. Keep in mind that many other lots are off-limits
(e.g. lot 20, or lot 5) at all times, and that on Monday, on Friday
afternoon, and at night, only lot 21 will be available and only
with a parking permit.
It's advisable to keep the parking permit in the car at all times.

Registration
| |
Registration will be in
McDonnell Hall, starting Friday 15th (3pm to 10pm), and will resume
on Saturday 16th, 7.30am-10am. During conference hours it will always be
possibile to register in McDonnell Hall during the breaks.
Participants arriving outside these regular hours
(and that have indicated their arrival dates on the registration form)
should contact Public Safety in
Stanhope Hall
(tel. 609-258-3134, or 8-3134 from a campus phone). Public safety
will keep a list of conference attendees and dormitory keys, so everyone
that has not yet registered during regular hours in the day of his/her
scheduled arrival will be able to get a key from public safety.

Travel
| |
If you are flying, EWR Newark is the easiest airport for Princeton.
Just book
the Airporter Shuttle,
and ask to be dropped off at Dillon Gym, that
is a short walking distance from Scully Hall. A minibus
commuting between Dillon
Gym and the Scully Hall dorms will also be available for conference
participants. Note that the Airporter trip
easily takes between one and two
hours. Another possibility is to go from
the airport to Newark train station (Penn Station Newark),
and then travel by train (see below).
PHL Philadelphia is equally close to Princeton by car, but
there are no direct shuttles, and by train it
involves changes in Philadelphia, in Trenton, and in Princeton
Junction. JFK (New York City) is further away from Princeton
than Philadelphia, but it has the
advantage of being connected via the Airporter Shuttle
system (note that it involves a change of shuttles in Newark).
LGA La Guardia (New York City) is another more remote option.
By train, the station of
Princeton proper is connected via a short train ride (the "dinky")
to Princeton Junction, that is a stop on the
eastern corridor (Washington to Boston).
Local NJTransit trains stop in Princeton Junction on
their route between Trenton and Penn Station New York (including
Penn Station Newark, that is easily reachable from Newark
airport); Trenton is then connected to Philadelphia via local SEPTA
trains.
Amtrak provides the regional or long-distance service.
Very few Amtrak
trains stop in Princeton Junction, so you might have to get down
at the closest station to Princeton Junction (e.g. Trenton,
or Metropark) and then switch to NJTransit. Once in Princeton Junction,
there is often (but not always) a synchronized "dinky" to bring you into
Princeton, and then it's a few hundred yards walk to Scully Hall.
