The Merit NSFNET Technical Seminar will be held in the Auditorium
of the Chrysler Center on the North Campus of the University of
Michigan. For those of you who attended the last meeting in January
of 1992 (then tagged the Advanced Topics Seminar), this is being held
in the same building and room.
If you are unfamiliar with Merit's location, we are located on
North Campus. The Chrysler Center is an easy walk from the Computing
Center, where our NOC is located.
Please call or send email to nsf-seminar if you have any questions,

Transportation from Detroit Metro Airport to Ann Arbor
------------------------------------------------------
Detroit Metropolitan Airport is located 25 miles east
of Ann Arbor on I-94. At Metro you will find many car
rental agencies and a bus service, Commuter Service
(in Michigan, 1-800-351-LIMO, Nationwide, 1-800-458-9401).
You can buy a bus ticket at the Ground Transportation
Desk near the Luggage Pick-up (cash only). Buses leave
hourly and stop at the Michigan Union (located on Central
Campus) and major hotels in Ann Arbor. The fare is around
$14.50 one way or $25.00 round trip (slightly more to the hotels
that offer this service). Make your return reservations
the day before you leave and plan to leave 1 1/2 to 2
hours before your flight time.
See more detailed directions below.
Directions from Metro Airport to Campus Inn and the Central Campus of UM
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once you get to Plymouth Road (off of US-23) continue on Plymouth Road
west until you get to Main St (this is a long haul). Turn left on Main St.
(South). Take Main Street to E. Huron Street. Turn left on Huron (East).
Then Huron to the Campus Inn (located on the corner of Huron and State Street).
Note: these directions follow the most straight forward and heavily used
roads. Once you know the area or find a map you will be able to shorten
the ride.
