Local Information
for
Summer School on Fundamental Physics with Neutrons
Getting to the University of Tennessee
If you are arriving by automobile, Please refer to the University of Tennessee web page http://www.tennessee.edu/maps/ for information concerning directions to the UT campus.
If you are arriving by air to the Knoxville airport, you should consider taking a taxi to the University of Tennessee main campus. Taxi fare should be ~$30.
Lectures
Lectures will be held in room 307 the Science and Engineering Building (SERF) which is an approximately 10-15 walk from the dormitory. It is recommended that you enter SERF through the doors on the northwest side of the building as shown by the arrow in the figure below.
Reception and School Dinner
The opening reception on Sunday as well as the Saturday dinner will be hell at the Cumberland House Hotel, 1109 White Avenue, Knoxville, TN 37916 (865-971-4663). The Cumberland Hotel is just off the UT campus and is ~5 min from the SERF Building.
Student Housing
All visiting students will be housing in University of Tennessee student housing. Student rooms will be in the “Apartment Residence Hall” on Andy Holt Ave. on the UT main campus. Linens will be provided in the rooms. The map shows the location of the dorm within the UT main campus. More maps are available on the UT website.
Checking Into the Dormitory
There is an office directly on your right as you enter the Andy Holt Ave entrance of the “Apartment Residence Hall.” This office is staffed 24/7. Give your name to the dorm officer on duty. You should mention that you are participating in the “Neutron Summer School.” You will receive your room assignment and key. Dorm check in officially begins at 3:00 pm on June 4, but you may be able check in early. The dorm is approximately 10-15 minute by foot to the lecture hall.
Meals
Buffet continental breakfast will be served in the atrium just outside the lecture hall (room 307 of the Science and Engineering Bldg, “SERF”). Meal tickets for lunch at the University Center will be provided. Box lunches will be provided on excursion days. Dinners are not specifically provided for. There are numerous restaurants within a short walk from campus on Cumberland Ave.
Parking
Some public parking is available near the dorm but student bringing automobiles might consider purchasing a parking permit for ~$5/day. These are available at the Parking Services Office in the basement of the University Center.
