Workshop Location:
The workshop will be held in Tate Hall 101 on the East Bank of the University of Minnesota Twin Cities campus.
The building can be accessed via the main doors on Church Street (accessible entrance) and the doors off of Northrop Mall.
Getting to the University of Minnesota:
Once you land at the Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport (MSP), you have several options you can take to get to the University of Minnesota (UMN).
Taxi, Uber and Lyft services are available at MSP. It will take approximately 20-30 minutes to get to campus depending on traffic. Visit the Ground Transportation page of the MSP website for more information on app-based ride services.
Car rental is not recommended. Parking around campus is limited and expensive.
The Metro Transit Light Rail is the most efficient and cost effective mode of travel. The trains run every 15 - 20 minutes on weekdays and will get you to the UMN campus in about 30 minutes. From MSP, take the Blue Line north to US Bank Station. From there you will transfer to the Green Line and take that to the East Bank Station (Graduate Hotel) or Stadium Village Station (Hilton Garden Inn). Find more information on the Metro Transit website. We recommend Uber/Lyft at night.
Local Restaurants:
Please see our Restaurant Locations Map for ideas on where to eat in the area.
Lodging for non-local invited speakers will be provided by the workshop sponsors at the Graduate Hotel by Hilton. The Graduate is a five minute walk to the workshop location and the Hampton is about a 20 minute walk. The Hampton also has a shuttle you can take to and from the University each day.
Information regarding details of hotel arrangements will be sent via e-mail to each participant of the workshop after registration. Please DO NOT contact the hotel to update reservations; contact the email address below for any changes that need to be made.
