Symposium Parking
There will be parking available in the Klaus Advanced Computing
Building parking deck. The entrance is on Ferst Drive, opposite
(and slightly down the hill from) the Biotech quad. For a
map and directions, please use those on the BME site: http://www.bme.gatech.edu/welcome/directions.shtml.
From 7:45 am - 10:00 am, there will be someone standing at
the entrance to the parking deck to give you a swipe card.
You'll use this card to swipe in and will then need to save
it to swipe out at the end of the day. After you've found
a parking space, take the elevator up to the first floor and
you'll find the registration area.
If you plan to arrive after 10:00 am, please contact Gail
Siegal at gail.siegal@bme.gatech.edu
to make alternate arrangements. |
