Conference Location
University of Washington, Seattle
The University of Washington, founded in 1861, is a major public research university in the Seattle metropolitan area. It is the largest university in the Pacific Northwest and the oldest public university on the West Coast of the United States. Nearly 40,000 students are enrolled in classes, about 25,000 of which are undergraduates. In 2004 UW was second in the United States in federal research funding and has an annual research budget of over one billion dollars.
The 693-acre campus is situated on the shores of Union and Portage Bays, with views of the Cascade Range to the east and the Olympic Mountains to the west. Its most popular views are from Suzzallo Library, which has a vista of Mount Rainier to the southeast, the Quad and its Yoshino cherry trees that bloom spectacularly each spring to the north, and Red Square spreading out in front of it to the west. It is located within the city of Seattle, four miles north of the downtown core and twenty miles from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.
The conference will be held in Kane Hall and the Husky Union Building (HUB) circled on the map below.
