The conference will take place on the campus of the University of Pennsylvania in the Perelman Quadrangle.
University City is an historic area filled with beautiful Victorian and
Edwardian architecture while
the campus is a mixture of architectural styles including the
gorgeous Furness Library. In addition
to the informal beauties of the campus, we also have more formal
cultural resources such as the
Institute for Contemporary Art (ICA) and The University of
Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology
and Anthropology, considered one of the finest in the world. The
University City area offers dining
experiences that can satisfy nearly every palate and every budget,
including a large, food court in
Houston Hall.
Center City offers the Reading Terminal Market, which has many delightful shops and specialty places to eat. They are also near Philadelphia's Chinatown, which has many excellent restaurants. Philadelphia's famous "Restaurant Row" is not much further away (in distance, albeit not in price!). Halfway between the University and Downtown Philadelphia are Philadelphia's famous museums (Museum of Art, Rodin Museum, Museum of Natural History and the Franklin Institute – all on the Parkway – and the Museum of American Art (formerly, the Academy of Fine Arts) on Broad and Cherry Streets). Philadelphia's Historical District is also within walking distance to the east. Pictured in the background is Independence Hall from the Historic District.
