Site
Boston University is minutes from the heart
of Boston. Sessions will be held in air-conditioned rooms located
a short walk from campus housing. Participants will have access
(small fee required) to the university’s new Fitness and Recreation
Center, which includes an 18,000 sq. ft. weight and cardio room,
two pools, racquetball and squash courts, gymnasiums, indoor track
and a 35’ climbing wall. On Thursday, July 26, everyone will
enjoy a night off-campus to explore the sites and flavors of Boston.
Accommodations
Boston University’s Student Residence at 10 Buick Street will
be our housing facility. This modern, air-conditioned apartment-style
residence consists of four-bedroom / two-bath suites complete with
living rooms and kitchens. All bedrooms are single occupancy. Participants
are given the option to either stay on campus or commute. Commuters
choosing to stay in a hotel are responsible for making their own housing
and travel arrangements and paying for their accommodations. Housing
at 10 Buick Street will fill up fast, so register early to guarantee
your space.
What to Bring/What to
Wear
Towels and bed linens will be provided.
The dress code is casual and comfortable — shorts, sneakers,
and sandals are appropriate workshop attire. Summer in the Boston
area can be hot and humid. A light sweater or jacket is a good idea
for those who find air-conditioned rooms chilly. Be sure to bring
your athletic clothing and equipment to take advantage of the terrific
facilities on and off campus.
