The new building hosting the Mitchell Institute for Fundamental Physics and Astronomy (MIFPA; also abbreviated as MIST) has many discussion areas similar to the ones you would find at the KITP-Santa Barbara. A floor map of MIFPA can be downloaded here (MIFPA floor plan) . Registration, poster sessions, lunches, and coffee breaks will take place in the atrium area and the adjacent rooms MIST 102 and 108. These rooms are also available for discussions during the conference as well as the other areas of the building indicated in the floor plan.

Parking Parking information will be given later to those who requested it. The daily parking will likely be in Saint Mary's Parking lot (see conference area maps) and you will be able to buy a tag when registering. For short term parking (e.g. needed when coming to register on the evening of the 11th, $2/hour) use the Northside Garage where visitors can park on the first floor and then pay in the pay-by-space machines.

Maps Dinning and after hours activities for the days when no evening activity is planned we have put together several suggested restaurants and possible activities. Some are walking distance from the conference site and others require driving. The suggestions are also marked on the enclosed area maps for your orientation. (link to suggestions)
