Our session is on Wednesday, Nov 20th from 6-8 Pm at the UNC Charlotte Library.

Location: Area 49 Visualization Lab, Atkins Library, UNC Charlotte. (The second floor in the library).

The parking deck (see directions below) is a pay lot. We have a limited number of free parking vouchers. Please see me (Steven) or Beth for a voucher.

Atkins Library is #4 on the map, and you can park in Cone Deck 2, which has a visitor lot. Come up to the second floor, where you’ll see the Area 49 Desk. If using Google Maps, type in “Cone Deck 2.” You’ll enter on the side between the parking deck and the Cone building, not on the side that has the surface parking lot.
