The School of Computing at the University of Utah is proud to be a host site for the 2007 Rocky Mountain Regional ACM Contest. For information about this competition or to register, please see the Rocky Mountain Region Contest Information page.
The contest will be held in room 224 of the Warnock Engineering Building (WEB). You may view a detailed map of our part of campus, or you may get a broader perspective using the map browser of the University of Utah Map. You can park in the MEB or WEB parking lot, indicated here, free after 6:00 PM on Friday and all day Saturday. (Do not park in reserved spaces.)
Check-in is in WEB 122 on Friday night, and in the WEB 1000 level gallery on Saturday.
Note: The building has undergone extensive renovations, and the changes are not yet complete. Check-in Friday night is on the 100 level (not the 1000 level) on the northwest side of the building. If you find yourself in the new portion of the building, proceed west and down the stairs. Check-in on Saturday is in the 1000 level gallery.
Also note: The College of Engineering is holding an Engineering Day the same day as the contest (in the same building). Don't try to check in with them - find us in room WEB 122 or in the 1000 level gallery.

Follow 100 South up the hill and around a bend to the left. The next lot entrance to your right is the MEB parking lot. You may park there, or you may turn right at the next light and park across from WEB. MEB is a large building with lots of black glass. WEB is just south of MEB, it is small and made of concrete. We'll be in room 122 or in the gallery.
