The University Centre Hotel: use the same directions as above except continue traveling South about 3/4 mile on NW 13^th Street (past University Avenue) and take a right on Archer road (the road veers off to the right) and the hotel is on your left. The Radisson Hotel; using the same directions; continue South on SW 13^th Street past Archer road and go about 2 miles; the hotel will be on your right.

Orlando Airport to Hotel The drive from Orlando to Gainesville is about 120 miles and takes about 2 hours. After leaving the Orlando airport, take Bee Line Expressway (528) West to the Florida Turnpike North to Interstate 75 (expect about $4.00 in tolls). Follow I-75 north to exit 75 - Gainesville exit for Archer Road (24). Turn right and continue to 13^th Street (441). The University Centre Hotel is located on your right just before 13^th Street (across from Shands Hospital).

Jacksonville Airport to Hotel - The drive from Jacksonville Airport to Gainesville is approximately 85 miles, and typically takes between 1.5 and 2 hours. There is only one road from the passenger terminal. Just past the first light (and right before the road passes under a bridge) turn right onto the ramp for I-95 (South). Once on I-95, stay in the right lane because after only a mile you will exit onto I-295 (South), heading counter-clockwise around Jacksonville's version of the Beltway. Stay on I-295 for roughly 17 miles, until you reach I-10 (West), marked to Tallahassee. After approximately 13 miles, leave I-10 at Exit 50 (U.S. 301 and Baldwin). Stay right at the fork in the exit ramp, joining U.S. 301 (South). Follow this road for about 37 miles, passing through the towns of Lawtey and Starke, until you reach Waldo. Here you fork right onto S.R. 24 (Gainesville) at the point where U.S. 301 continues on to Ocala. Take S.R. 24 for 10 miles to the outskirts of Gainesville. As you approach Gainesville, you will pass through a light at NW 53 Ave, then see the airport perimeter on your left. At the next light, turn right onto NE 39 Ave (S.R. 222). Then follow the rest of the directions as from the Gainesville Airport.

Campus Directions: Parking is difficult on campus when school is in session, but not impossible. It should not be a problem during the conference Mar. 8 - 11, 1999, because it is Spring Break. You may park in any commuter lot or Orange lot. Meter parking and Red and Blue lots are still enforced, however. If you are driving in from the east, as if from the Gainesville airport, follow the same instructions to get to the Holiday Inn hotel then cross University Avenue and turn right to enter campus via Museum Road. The New Physics Building is located on the Corner of Museum Road and North South Drive (see Campus map here). There is an Orange lot just east of the Physics building on Museum road. There is a large commuter lot and garage just west (and a little south) of the Physics Building on North-South Drive. There are information booths scattered around campus with maps and information. Ask for a visitor's pass if school is in session.
