To the EXPO

To reach the Expo Monday morning from the Best Western or the Quality Inn, leave the hotels and head West on Trinity Drive (towards the mountains). Continue on Trinity, and take a left upon reaching the intersection with Diamond Drive. Follow Diamond Drive over the bridge staying the right hand lane, and take a right at the stoplight onto West Jemez Road. At the next stoplight (just past the fire station), turn left. There might be parking available in the parking garage, but probably not after 8:30 am. If you don't find parking there, you can drop off passengers and poster boards in front of the Research Library (just south of the parking garage) and then head to the General Parking area off of Diamond Drive. We have made special arrangements for school buses to park behind the Fire Station. Buses can return across Casa Grande road, past the Research Park building, down into the parking lot behind the Fire Station and park at the very end of the lot.

To the Tuesday morning Awards Ceremony

Due to the large number of teams that completed projects and the large number of supporters who want to attend the 9:00 am Awards Ceremony, we have had to move it from the Study Center at LANL to the auditorium of the Church of Christ, 2323 Diamond Drive, in Los Alamos.

From the Best Western and Quality Inn, go west to Diamond Drive and take a right then go 1.2 miles north to the church building which is on the left at 2323 Diamond Drive.

From the Hampton Inn in White Rock, head back Hwy 4 to the truck route and go left on it. When you get to the Diamond Drive intersection, bear right and go across the bridge to the north and the church building is 1.6 miles ahead on the left.

From outside Los Alamos, follow NM 502 through town and turn right onto Diamond Drive and go 1.2 miles north to the church building which is on the left at 2323 Diamond Drive.

 

A lunch will follow the Awards Ceremony.
