Originating Calendar

PRI Staff Events (non-training)

Parking: There will be limited, marked, free parking available off Pennsylvania Avenue, near the Natural Resources Building garage; look for the open house parking signs. Metered parking is also available on surrounding streets. 

Throughout the building we will have more than 45 posters, displays and researchers ready to discuss their work and collaborate. Be sure to pick up a program and map at the sign in table, or you can download one to preview (a link to download will be sent at a later date).  For questions, please email Tina Happ at tinahapp@illinois.edu  or Kathy Henry at kmhenry@illinois.edu.
