Stanford Room Locations

How to find various conference rooms or classrooms around the Stanford campus and where to park near them. Note this web page concentrates on rooms likely to be used by cognitive science related talks. One can check out the Stanford searchable map and put in the names of buildings or classrooms. Stanford also has a beta google maps site at http://www.stanford.edu/hpcgi/map/index.pl However it is helpful to know a bit about certain sections of the campus.

And even more important how to get to campus.

Overall view of Campus

Not quite the whole campus. Points out some of the areas where activities reported in the CSLI Calendar take place (more detailed maps below).

Also shows some of the major parking areas for visitors on campus. In addition to these areas many but not all parking lots have a few meters (a visitors day pass can also be used at meters). For full information on parking see http://transportation.stanford.edu/. In most places on campus parking is free after 4pm on weekdays and free also on weekends and university holidays. Rules are not usually enforced on campus (though they are in the medical center parking lots) during the two week winter slow time. People with disabled placards or license plates can park in any parking spot (including service vehicle, A, and C).

CSLI Area

The area near CSLI.

[map of the CSLI Area

Key locations are:

Visitor parking in the metered area of the parking structure beyond Forsythe Hall. A few meters also in the Med School Office Bldg parking lot across Campus Drive and in the parking lot near the Clark Center. People with disabled placards or license plates can park in the small unmarked A lot behind Nora Suppes Hall (also a slot specifically for disabled parking).

The Main Quad

The center of the campus and with an arcane numbering scheme. Takes about 10 minutes to walk to from CSLI.

[map of the Main Quad

Basically the buildings in the quad are numbered clockwise from 1 to 110 in the Inner Quad and from 120 to 460 in the Outer Quad.

Rooms in some buildings (e.g., 60, 90, 380) in the quad are of the form such as 92Q where the first digit is the same as the building numbers' first digit (in the example building 90), the last digit indicates the floor (in this the second floor), and the letter the specific room. The full room designation could be phrased as "Building 90, room 92Q" or "90:92Q".

Rooms in other buildings (e.g., 200, 420, 460) in the Quad have numbers that are independent of the building number. An example would be room 034 in Building 200 (or 200:034). In these cases the first digit of the room indicates the floor (034 is in the basement).

Key Main Quad buildings and rooms from the CSLI point of view are:

Engineering Quad

Just to the west of the Main Quad (or to the east of CSLI).

Key locations here are

White Plaza and CCRMA

White Plaza is one of the more hazardous places on campus due to bikes coming and going in all directions. Most of the important locations here are not classrooms.
