SF08 Cosmology Summer Workshop: Housing        

Housing is available at the St. John's campus. Housing costs for the participants will be heavily subsidized. Units for family groups (on a first come first served basis) as well as single participants are available. We cannot support hotel costs since these tend to be rather high during the tourist season.

There are three types of housing available at St. John's: Suite (shared accommodation / 5 rooms + common room / 5 people per suite), Apartment (2 bedroom with kitchen, appropriate for families), and Dorms (single/double, largely for students). The housing agreement with St. John's includes lunch per week-day for each individual (plus dinner for students).

There will be some off-campus accommodation available, under Casitas below. Arrival and departure dates will be the same as for on-campus housing.

Rates: Independently of where they are staying, the costs for senior participants will be $150/room/week. Examples: A family using a 2-bedroom apartment pays $300/week, a single participant in a suite room pays $150/week, two participants sharing a 2-bedroom apartment pay $150/week each, etc. Student rates will be $50/week (includes a paid lunch and dinner). The rates are not final, but should be approximately correct.

Upon arriving participants will be able to obtain the keys for their housing from the switchboard at the Peterson Student Center. People arriving on Sunday can check in between 8:00 am and 12:00 midnight. However, rooms will NOT be ready before 2:00 pm. The individual information packets for participants will not be available at the Switchboard until the rooms are ready. If you are arriving late, note that the switchboard is manned 24 hours, but that Peterson is locked at midnight. If arriving later than this, call 505 984 6000 (switchboard) to let them know you are there or on the way. If, for some reason, you cannot phone, when on campus look for a security guard and ask for help. You can also enter Peterson through the exterior Coffee Shop door and use the campus phone on the west wall to call the switchboard by dialing "0". Someone will then let you in to get your workshop packet from the switchboard. If you think you may arrive after 12:00 am, please let us know (email Jenny Esch at jenny[at]lanl.gov). Arrivals Monday through Friday 9.00 am to 6.00 pm should go to the Conference Services office in the lower dorm area on the street side, #36 on the main campus map.

The dates will be rigid since the housing situation is very tight. Stays are (strictly) defined by the following: Week 1 (Arrival 29 June - Departure 5 July), Week 2 (Arrival 6 July - Departure 12 July), and Week 3 (Arrival 13 July - Departure 19 July).
