UMSL is located in the Bel-Nor/Bellerive/Normandy area of St Louis County, which is northwest of the city, and about four miles almost directly north of Washington University's Danforth campus.  From Hwy 170 take the Natural Bridge Road exit SE (away from the airport).  Cross N Hanley Road.  The next two lights on Natural Bridge Road are on campus, West Drive and University Drive.  The building housing the biology department is on the left (north) side between these two lights.

You can also get to UMSL by Metrolink from within St Louis.  Take a train north towards the airport, and get off at the UMSL NORTH station.  From there walk south along East Drive, or through campus past the Millenium Student Center and the Thomas Jefferson Library to the rear atrium of the Research Building.


The workshop is being held in R120 Research Building in the atrium area. Research building is the middle part of the building housing the biology department, which includes Benton Hall on the western side, and Stadler Hall on the eastern side.  It might be helpful to consult the North Campus Map if you are not familiar with UMSL (http://www.umsl.edu/misc/Maps/maps.html).
