We'll use IRC. We'll probably use zakim as well:
Zakim Bridge +1.617.761.6200, conference 878648 ("TSTMIT"). There is SIP access as well. Get on IRC to check that the conf room is connected to the bridge. If we don't end up using Zakim, we'll let you know on irc what else we're using instead.
The MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) is located at the northeastern edge of the MIT campus on Vassar Street near the intersection with Main Street. The building has an unusual architecture and can be easily recognized. Its unfinished look is on purpose and there is no need to bring paint to cover the visible ciment of the columns.
Boston Logan International Airport is the closest international airport to MIT. The travel time between the airport and hotels in Cambridge will vary between 30 minutes to one hour depending on traffic conditions. Taxis from the airport are plentiful and fares will range around $30-40.
The Stata Center is located almost 2 blocks away from the
The MIT Parking and Transportation Office does not offer pay lots for visitors. They note: "Because the number of visitor parking spaces on campus is limited, it may not be possible to accommodate every visitor who wishes to park at MIT... We strongly recommend using public transportation when visiting the MIT campus."
Use the building entrance which is the nearest to the street intersection. Once you're in the Stata Center, use the elevators located in the Gates tower (opposite to the information center with a big question mark above it).
Take the elevators to the 8th floor. Exit the elevator lobby, turn left and go straight. Room 882 is the old MIT CSAIL library and has a high ceiling.
