Conference Site

Here are some details about local travel:

You can find directions of how to get to campus and a small map of the academic buildings on the Marquette Web site. Here's a rough map of the area. The conference will be held in Cudahy Hall. The Katharine Reed Cudahy Hall is located at 1313 W. Wisconsin Avenue. If signs in the building don't help when you arrive, the Department Office is located on the third floor in room 340.

At the Milwaukee airport you can ride a hotel limo service to either the Ramada or the Hilton for $7.50. You board this bus outside of the baggage claim area and just tell the driver where you are going. Taxis are also available and will probably cost about $15.

If you are driving to the conference, free parking will be available in the Marquette parking structure on 16th Street between Wisconsin and Wells Avenues. I've drawn a rough map of the area. It's not quite to scale, but I think it's topologically correct.

Here's some general info about the site:

Marquette University is an independent, coeducational institution founded in 1881 by members of the Society of Jesus. The university is located on an 80-acre urban campus with approximately 50 buildings near downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin. A variety of undergraduate and graduate degrees are offered by the university's 13 colleges, schools, and programs.

The Department of Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science at Marquette University has offered to host the meeting. The Department is now (since Jan. 1994) housed in Katharine Reed Cudahy Hall, a $12,000,000 building in the center of the Marquette campus. The building contains 103,000 square feet of floor space on 5 floors. A striking feature of the building is its central atrium which runs from the lower level to the roof skylight.

The lower level and first floor have dedicated mathematics and computer science classrooms, an auditorium, and introductory laboratories. The second floor houses the central computing system for the University. The third floor is the home of the Departmental offices and contains advanced mathematics and computer science laboratories, as well as offices for 31 faculty members, and space for adjunct and part-time faculty, laboratory staff, teaching and research assistants and fellows, and undergraduate organizations. The fourth floor contains the dedicated Biomathematics Computing Laboratory, a mathematics library/reading room, conference area, kitchenette, and a colloquium room.

Lectures will be held in the main lecture auditorium which seats 140 people and features network connections and video projection equipment. The discussion space outside the lecture hall, at the foot of the atrium, will be available for morning and afternoon teas.

Computing facilities available for conference delegates include computation and Internet services via a quad-processor Sparc 10 with 256 MBytes of main memory and a 12 GByte disk array. This machine can be accessed by means of 19 Xterminals and various PCs in a spacious third-floor computing lab. In addition, a Sparc 20, dual-processor compute server (provided by an NSF-SCREMS grant) will be available for more intensive computations.
