BioQUEST / HHMI / CaseNet Summer Workshop 2015
Travel and Housing
From the Airport:
We recommend flying into Ontario Airport which is only 10 miles from the Claremont Colleges. LAX and John Wayne (SNA) are also options. Taxi service is available from Ontario Airport to the campus; taxi stands are outside each terminal, just east of the baggage claim area (approximate taxi fare: $35-40.) Super Shuttle is another alternative; it is available from Ontario and Los Angeles Airports. Cost for a shared van could be as low as $21 (from Ontario), but it might take longer depending on the number of other drop-offs.
Destintation address to provide to taxi/Super Shuttle/shared van:
Harvey Mudd College: 320 E Foothill Blvd., Claremont, CA. This is right next to the Shanahan Center for Teaching and Learning, where our registration table will be.
The street address for Pitzer College is 1050 North Mills Avenue, Claremont, CA.
Driving/Parking:
There is free daytime parking along Foothill Blvd. between Dartmouth Ave. and Mills Ave. (However, no overnight parking is allowed on Claremont streets, including Foothill Blvd.). Daytime and overnight parking (no fee) is available in the East Mesa parking lot at Pitzer College (use the Ninth Street entrance just west of Claremont Blvd.). See the parking map for details.
