FYI 2000, Transportation

Location of Workshop

The talks will take place primarily in B101, aka the Love Auditorium, of the Levine Science Research Center (LSRC) at Duke. Some sessions will take place in the D-wing (computer science) of the LSRC.

Airport Transportation

A taxi should be about $30 plus tip, head to baggage-claim, ground transportation where there is a taxi-stand/attendant.

The R & G Shuttle Service has a desk near the baggage area of both terminals. They tell me that there's no reason to call in advance, their vehicles shuttle continuously between the airport and locations in the Triangle area. There number is 919.840.0262 or 1.800.840.2738. The fee is $20 one way, $33 round trip. In groups of two or more the price is $(20 + 6N) for N people.

Walking from Hotels

From the Brookwood, exit the hotel, turn right, then left onto Fulton and right onto Erwin. Walk about 300 meters to Research Drive, cross left at the light and continue about a half-mile to the LSRC on your right.

By Car

• From Chapel Hill: Take US 15/501. Take the exit marked NC 751 and Duke University. Turn right at the bottom of the ramp. Take the first left/first light onto Erwin Road. Continue less than a mile to the second stop light which is Lasalle Street (Pizza Hut on the left). Turn right at the light which will take you to parking lots. Continue to the stop sign passing a gated lot on your right (this is the fall back lot if the close one is full). Continue through the stop sign. As the road curves to the left the parking lot is on the right. The first entrance is for meters, the second entrance is gated, but the gate is open on the weekends so you can park here. The LSRC and Hall-of-Science entrance are down the stairs from the parking lot.

  If it's full (unlikely) go back to the lot you passed on the way in.

• From Raleigh/RDU Airport: Take I-40 West. Exit/stay right on the Durham Freeway (NC 147) as it splits from I-40. Take the exit marked Elba and Trent Streets. (The preceding exit is for Swift and Broad Streets.) Continue straight (along Elba) until you bottom out at Fulton St (the Brookwood Inn is on your right). Turn left, then right after 100 yds onto Erwin Rd. After about half a mile, there is a light. Turn left there onto Research Drive. The second right is the entrance to the parking lots, the first gated lot you come to is the LSRC lot, the gate is open on the weekends. The LSRC is down the stairs from this lot.

  If the lot is full continue through the stop sign and a large lot will be on your left.

• From Interstate 85 from the north: Continue on I-85 most of the way through Durham and take the exit for US 15/501 (Chapel Hill), which will be on your left. (The preceding two exits are Guess Road, and Hillandale.) Continue about 1.5 miles down US 15/501 and take the NC 751 (Duke Univ) exit. Turn left at the bottom of the ramp. Now follow the directions in first bullet above (from Chapel Hill).

• From Interstate 85 from the south: Take the Durham Freeway exit (NC 147 South -- exit 172), which is a few miles before Durham. Take the second exit, which is labelled Fulton Street. Turn right onto Fulton Street at the end of the ramp. Follow this to its end, turn right onto Erwin Rd. After about half a mile, there is a light. Turn left there onto Research Drive. The second right is the entrance to the parking lots, the first gated lot you come to is the LSRC lot, the gate is open on the weekends. The LSRC is down the stairs from this lot.

  If the lot is full continue through the stop sign and a large lot will be on your left.
