Additional Information for Spring 2013 Meeting at Northeastern (Saturday, April 20)

Parking/Maps/Directions

Directions to Northeastern can be found at: http://www.northeastern.edu/campusmap/directions.html
Parking and Transportation information from our hosts: 
Guests can park in the Gainsborough Garage or the Renaissance Park Garage. The Renaissance Park garage is the closest to Ryder Hall--it is located at 835 Columbus Avenue. From the garage, you have to walk through Ruggles station to the other side of the tracks, and once you exit Ruggles station, Ryder Hall is the first building to the left. The garages are not cheap--($18-$24 for the day). If people want to give street parking a shot, they'll have better luck looking on the side streets off of Columbus." If you prefer to take public transportation, Northeastern is easily accessible via the Orange Line (Ruggles Sta.) or the Green Line (Northeastern Sta.).
