Location
The NSF CAREER Proposal Writing Workshop will be held
in the Original
Building (http://eagle.gmu.edu/map/arlington.php?building=original) at
George Mason University
(Arlington Campus),
Arlington, VA.
Parking and Transportation
GMU cannot provide parking at
the Arlington campus. The campus is very close to the Virginia
Square Metro station, and (if a participant is not staying within
walking distance) that should be the primary way of getting to the
workshop. The web site for Metro is
http://www.wmata.com/.
If someone really wants to
park a car, you can get information on public parking near Virginia
Square Metro at:
http://www.arlingtonva.us/Departments/Environmental
Services/dot/traffic/parking/RB/RBParking.aspx (click on the
link for "Ballston and Virginia Square" [a static map] or on
"Interactive Parking Map" [more useful but you have to zoom in on
the Virginia Square metro area; then you can click on parking icons
and get addresses of parking garages and other information]).
Hotel Information
Click here to get a
list of hotels in the area.
George Mason University Arlington Campus is right next to the
Virginia Square Metro station. The hotels near Ballston are about a
15 minute walk from the Arlington campus. Alternatively, you can
take Metro (the Virginia Square Metro station is only one stop away
from Ballston). The hotels near Rosslyn are too far away to walk,
but the Rosslyn station has both the Orange line (direct ride to the
workshop) and the Blue line (direct ride to National Airport).
Courthouse is closer to the workshop than Rosslyn, but still too far
to walk.
