ISMS Dorm Options (& Parking)

Check-In: Sunday, June 15th starting at 12:00 Noon (Central Standard Time)
Check-Out: Friday, June 20th at 1:00 PM (Central Standard Time)

Opening for the first time in Fall 2013, Bousfield Hall is a brand new and exceptionally nice facility.

Every attendee will have a private locking bedroom, and will share a bath with 1-3 other people (when you register you may provide suitemate names if desired). We do not have the option for private bathrooms; however, in all room types the toilet stall/room is able to be locked, leaving the shower and sinks accessible to suitemates. Each room has individual climate control. Free wireless internet is available in all rooms and the common areas. Each room has a bed, desk and rolling chair. There are NO microwaves/mini-fridges in the rooms.

IMPORTANT: We anticipate that the dorm will be nearly full this year. We have a fixed number of each suite type so please REGISTER EARLY for best availability. If you register late and the room type you request is no longer available we will have to put you where we have availability (and you may have to pay the higher room rate). Encourage your roommates to register early (we cannot hold rooms for people who have not registered).

There are a number of common areas where people can gather. On the first floor there is a large area with tables, chairs, and couches, as well as a large TV. Each floor also has a house lounge and study.

Bousfield Hall is just under a mile (15-20 minute walk) from the main symposium buildings, but there is convenient (every 5 minutes) free bus service from just outside the dorm to within about a block of the talks. Bousfield is adjacent to the Picnic venue.

Parking is available for $9/day within a few blocks from the dorm. See more details below at the bottom of the page.

Parking

Parking is available for $9/day. You can pay for your parking when you register and pick up your parking permits as part of the check in process at the Dorm. Parking will be in lot E14, which is about a 5-6 minute walk from the dorms.

Parking is not enforced on the weekends, so if you arrive on Saturday or Sunday, you may park just outside the dorm to check-in and put away your bags (there is ample street parking on E. Peabody Drive, a small parking lot immediately South of Bousfield on the North side of E. Peabody Drive, and also a large surface lot on the South side of E. Peabody across from Bousfield).

Parking enforcement begins at 6:00 AM on Monday, so you will need to have your car in lot E14 with your permit displayed before then. There are many parking meters on E. Peabody Drive (and in the lot across from Bousfield) if you wish to park closer while loading your bags (25 cents/15 minutes).
