12:30-1:30pm LUNCH AND NETWORKING
If parking: We are located in the Bunting-Blaustein Cancer Research Building 1 (CRB1). There is visitor parking in the McElderry parking garage off of Caroline Street near the Outpatient Center (JHOC). After exiting the pedestrian entrance for the parking garage (where the tickets are stamped and paid), turn right (now facing South) and see the Cancer Research complex a few hundred feet ahead just beyond an open loading dock area - the Cancer Research buildings 1 and 2 are connected by a walk way (there is a little plaza right in front of the walkway with a wood trellis and some outdoor tables with umbrellas. CRB1 is the one on the left. Walk down the stairs from the garage entrance (about 10 stairs hugging the garage), across the loading dock parking area, then up around left (see a brick walkway and go into the front door of CRB1 (there will be a cul-de-sac in front of the entrance). Sign in with the security guard.
If coming by Subway: Come up from the Subway to Broadway. Upon exiting, proceed to street corner (Broadway and Madison) and cross Broadway. Walk down the driveway, which is to the right. Pass the first building and enter the second building on the left, CRB I (Bunting). You will encounter a guard station where you will be directed to the Owens Auditorium.
BUILDING ENTRANCE
If you are entering from CRB-1 (Koch Cancer Research Building), this is the door you will enter from. There is another door on the other side of the building (connected to this building) that is the CRB-2 entrance.
