Summer School Venue

NSF UCAR - CG1 Building, 3090 Center Green Drive, Boulder

The door into the CG1 building is on the south side, to the right of the revolving doors. This
door will be left unlocked for the duration of the Summer School. We will have a table in the
CG1 Lobby set up to greet you, hand out name badges, answer questions and provide directions.

There will be space in the main meeting room to leave your bags on the last day as the Summer
School is scheduled to close around 1pm.

Venue Information

The City of Boulder sits at 5430ft / 1655m and is considered a high desert climate. If you’re not used to being at altitude you may want to take it easy the first day or two. Average daytime temperature in August is 87ºF / 31ºC and it can rain heavily in the afternoon, sometimes with hail. Humidity in Boulder is generally very low – often below 50% – so try to remain hydrated. Average evening temperatures can drop to 56ºF / 13ºC once the sun goes down.

The CG1 Auditorium rooms are on the first floor, on the left as you enter the building. We will have tables set up inside and there are two screens for presentations. UCAR Wi-Fi is free. Breakout rooms will be on the 2nd and 3rd floor and we will provide directions / signage. If you have any questions or concerns about the meeting rooms’ set up, just let me know.

The UCAR meeting rooms’ air conditioning can be a bit fierce, especially in the afternoon, so make sure to bring layers!
