ISMS Dorm Options (& Parking)
Check-Out: Friday, June 27th at 1:00 PM (Central Standard Time)
PLEASE NOTE: We were unable to reserve Bousfield Dorm this year. Wassaja Hall will be our main dorm, with Nugent Hall as our overflow location.
*Wassaja in Green, Nugent in Yellow, Picnic area in Blue (Bousfield in lower left).
Wassaja Hall (main location)
Opened in 2016, Wassaja Hall is a very nice facility with LEED Gold status. Wassaja is due West of Nugent Hall and North of Bousfield.Wassja has all double (2-bed) rooms. You can choose to reserve the entire bedroom (you will have a large private room with 2 twin beds and desks to yourself), or you can select to share the bedroom with another attendee at a lower cost. Bathrooms are located outside the rooms in an inner hallway. We try to distribute attendees to keep the ratio between attendees and bathrooms low, but this is not always possible. Each bathroom has a shower and toilet, and locks individually, but you will need to carry your bathroom products back and forth to your room.
Nugent Hall (overflow location)
Nugent Hall is also a newer building, and has the same double-bed room design as Wassaja. You will be able to reserve the entire room, or indicate you'd like to share the bedroom at a lower cost. The primary difference between Wassja and Nugent is the bathroom design. Nugent has blocks of gender specific bathrooms scattered throughout the floor. Each bathroom has 2 sinks, 2 toilet stalls and 2 showers (with curtains). You will need to carry your bathroom products back and forth to your room.IMPORTANT!! REQUESTING ROOMMATES
Listing a preferred room mate when you register does NOT reserve a spot for them!! If a room type sells out before your roommate registers, you will not be placed together. If you want to share a particular type of room with a particular person, please make sure that person registers at the same time you do!Both building have a number of common areas where people can gather both on the main level, and also on the upper floors.
Wassaja and Nugent Halls are 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. Nugent is adjacent to the Picnic venue.
Parking is available within a few blocks from the dorm. See more details below at the bottom of the page.
Option 1: Double Room in Wassaja (Private or Shared)
Each room in Wassaja will have 2 beds and 2 desks -- furnished the same as the double rooms in Bousfield Hall, but a bit smaller. You can choose to reserve the entire bedroom (you will have a private room with 2 twin beds and desks to yourself), or you can select to share the bedroom with another attendee at a lower cost. Bathrooms are located outside the rooms in an inner hallway. Each bathroom has a shower and toilet, and locks individually to guarantee privacy, but you will need to carry your bathroom products back and forth to your room as bathrooms are un-assigned. We try to distribute attendees to keep the ratio between attendees and bathrooms low, but this is not always possible.
Rates coming soon!
Overflow Option: Double Room in Nugent (Private or Shared)
Each room in Nugent is very similar to Wassaja. You can choose to reserve the entire bedroom (you will have a private room with 2 twin beds and desks to yourself), or you can select to share the bedroom with another attendee at a lower cost. The primary difference between Wassja and Nugent is the bathroom design. Nugent has blocks of gender specific bathrooms scattered throughout the floor. Each bathroom has 2-3 sinks, 2 toilet stalls and 2 showers (with curtains). You will need to carry your bathroom products back and forth to your room.

Parking
Parking in lot E-14 is now included in your dorm room rate. The E-14 lot 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).
