DIRECTIONS - 2006 Young Researchers’ Roundtable on Spoken Dialog Systems

The workshop will be hosted by the Department of Computer Science at University of Pittsburgh. The department is located in Sennott Hall building at 210 S. Bouquet, Pittsburgh, PA in a neighborhood called Oakland. We have three rooms reserved on the 5^th floor of the building.

Location

The workshop location can be seen on Google Maps or on this University of Pittsburgh page. You can also see a photo of the outside of the building on the department webpage.

Directions by bus

There are two bus stops close to the building, each served by many bus lines. The closest one is at the intersection between Forbes Avenue and South Bouquet and is right across from the building. The other bus stop is at the intersection between Fifth Avenue and Oakland Avenue and you will have to walk 2 blocks to get to the building (see the map).

• From Downtown – take any bus that goes through Oakland (e.g. 61A-B-C-D,501,67EFJ serve Forbes at S. Boquet; 500,71A,71B,71C,71D serve Fifth at Oakland). Please note that the neighborhood between Downtown and Oakland is not very safe to walk after dark – either take a bus or a taxi back.
• From Airport – take the 28X bus. Ask the driver to drop you in Oakland at the intersection between Forbes Avenue and South Bouquet.

Finding your way into the building

There are two entrances into the building. The main entrance is on the S. Bouquet Street. The other entrance is on the Forbes Avenue, through Panera (enter Panera and use the first door on the left). Both entrances take you to the elevators. Take the elevator to the 5^th floor and follow the posted signs to room 5317.
