HOTEL SHUTTLE TRANSPORTATION SERVICE &
DROP-OFF DIRECTIONS
All but the Shadyside Inn and University Inn offer scheduled
shuttle transportation for their hotel to/from CMU. When you check
in at your hotel, please let the front desk know of your need
to get to CMU and your desired arrival time. They will inform
you what time you should be in the front lobby for the appropriate
shuttle. If you choose to use the Shadyside Inn, you should be
able to board the CMU Shuttle that passes by the Shadyside Inn
and near the University Inn if I provide you with a letter typed
on CMU letterhead, indicating that you are a CMU Visitor. CMU
Shuttle maps and info: http://www.cmu.edu/police/escort.htm
If you are visiting the CIC Building:
When you check in at your hotel, please let the front desk know
of your need to get to CMU and your desired arrival time. They
will inform you what time you should be in the front lobby for
the appropriate shuttle. Please ask the shuttle driver to drop
you off in front of Hamburg Hall. As you depart the shuttle, the
CIC Building will be the building directly to the right (west)
of Hamburg Hall over the ravine. Turn left up the road between
Hamburg and CIC and you will find the main entrance to CIC on
your right. Inside, the elevators are to your left and you will
find most of the PDL personnel located in offices on the second
floor. Greg Ganger is in CIC 2208 (412-268-1297) and Karen Lindenfelser
is in CIC 2209 (412-268-6716).
If you are visiting Wean Hall:
When you check in at your hotel, please let the front desk know
of your need to get to CMU and your desired arrival time. They
will inform you what time you should be in the front lobby for
the appropriate shuttle. Please ask the shuttle driver to drop
you off at the 1st Floor entrance to Wean Hall. They can enter
CMU via (Roberts Drive) off of Frew Street (by Schenley Park and
Phipps Conservatory). The driver will need to follow the road
between Roberts and Hamerschlag Hall down and around the back
of Hamerschlag Hall, past the sidewalk leading up to Hamburg Hall/Forbes
Avenue and proceed to the bottom of the hill (you will see parking
spots along the sidewalk), and let you off at the stop sign at
the bottom of that hill. Please come through the door (1st floor
of Wean Hall). Walk to the end of the hall, turn right, and take
the elevator to the 8th floor. If you are going directly to the
conference room, Wean Hall 8220 can be found in the hallway behind
the elevator. Turn right off of the elevator, come to the break
in hall, turn right and walk past the white board, turn left at
the break in the hall, and follow to the end.
If the shuttle driver is more familiar with coming on to campus
off of Forbes Avenue by Hamburg Hall, travelling past Newell Simon
Hall, and down the hill towards Doherty Hall, and driving up to
the 1st floor of Wean, that is fine too!
If you are visiting Hamerschlag Hall:
When you check in at your hotel, please let the front desk know
of your need to get to CMU and your desired arrival time. They
will inform you what time you should be in the front lobby for
the appropriate shuttle. Please ask the shuttle driver to drop
you off at the CMU entrance (Roberts Drive) off of Frew Street
(by Schenley Park and Phipps Conservatory). This entrance brings
you to the parking lot that is surrounded by Scaife / Porter /
Hamerschlag and Roberts Hall(s). Hamerschlag Hall is the building
with the circular tower on top of it. You can enter the double-green
doors. If you are coming to the D-level, you can take the short
flight of stairs you will see to your right, turn right, turn
left at the elevator, and enter the wood and glass door. You can
also take the elevator down to "D" and enter through
the wood and glass door that will be facing you. Go straight through
the door and turn right.

Hall, it will lead you to the door where you will find the Atrium
and the Singleton Room.
