The ECO5 Workshop will be held at UMass - Amherst, on March 3, 2007.

The workshop will be held in the Math Lounge, on the top (16th) floor of the Lederle Graduate Research Tower. General directions to UMass can be found here; once on campus, head for the Lederle tower off of North Pleasant St -- on this map, it's in square C2. You can park in Lot 43, also in C2 (it's in front of Totman Gym). Take the elevator in Lederle to the top (16th) floor; the Math Lounge is on the right as you exit the elevator.
