Venue

The Schools will take place on NRAO's Green Bank Observatory site. All lectures and activities will take place on site, and all students and lecturers will be housed on site.

Student housing will be provided as part of the registration fee. Students will be housed on site in the Green Bank bunkhouse, a 60 unit domitory on site. Hotel-style rooms are also available at a cost of $70/night for any participant not wishing to stay in the bunkhouse.

All participants are responsible for travel to the site, although we will work with the participants to arrange for shared rides to the facility. Directions to Green Bank from a variety of nearby airports can be found at this link.
