Arrival and Parking:

Use a copy of this program at the gate to drive in. The Taub building is closer to the East Gate, but parking is very limited due to construction. City buses 17, 19 and 31 and taxis are available.

Breaks:

Coffee and cookies will be served. Light lunch is available at the Physics tea-room (h-bar cafe), or a full meal at a number of campus restaurants.
