Peadbody Conservatory Dormitory

A more economical, but less convenient option for accommodations during the conference are the dormitories at the Peabody Conservatory located at 1 East Mt. Vernon Place.These dormitories offer rooms with a single bed or two beds. Rooms are arranged in clusters around a common room. The clusters share single sex baths. The rooms are supplied with linens and two towels and two wash cloths. The towels are refreshed every two days. A refrigerator is available in the common room. The rooms are air-conditioned and offer computer access, and phones for local calls only. Long distance calls can be made using a personal credit card. Lodging rates for this option are $46 per person/night for a single person in a bedroom, and $40 per person/night for two persons sharing a double room.

Prices above include an all-you-can-eat breakfast in the cafeteria adjacent to the dormitory. Meal cards will be distributed at check-in.

The dormitory is approximately 12 blocks from the Convention Center. Transportation between the dormitory and the Baltimore Convention Center is possible via Maryland Transit buses that run between the campus and have convenient stops within a block of the Convention Center. The bus takes approximately 15 minutes and operates every 15 minutes during rush hours and every ~45 minutes during mid-day and evenings. The fare is $1.75 for a one-way trip and $3.00 for an all day pass.

Reservations for the dormitory should be arranged through the Conference Secretariat. Deadline for reservations is May 16, 2004. No changes can be made after this date. Cancellations made after this date are subject to a penalty.
