Appalachian State University Campus
 "Appalachian was founded in 1899. The pioneering spirit necessary to overcome the mountains’ hardships quickly characterized the institution, giving Appalachian a special niche in higher education that continues today. After more than a century, students still feel the pull of this unique place to transform their lives, and Appalachian has remained focused on providing students with educational experiences that are not only life-changing but world-changing." - http://www.appstate.edu/about/ |
Checkin: There will be a check-in desk inside the residence Summit Hall on Sunday between 3 and 11 pm. Beginning around 6:30 pm on sunday, a registration desk will open outside of the reception venue at the solarium. We ask that folks arriving after 7 pm check in the residence hall first and then make their way over to the reception. The residence hall check-in will only be staffed until 11 pm, so any late arrivals will be given a phone number to call. This phone number will be for the residence hall assistant on duty. Folks can call this number and have this RA meet them in the lobby to check them into the residence hall.
Housing: IPMI 2017 will be housed on campus in dorm rooms. The rooms are all located in the Appalachian State Summit Hall Residence Hall and have two beds. Each two rooms share a bathroom (with separate entrances for each room). Standard registration includes a room for the nights of June 25th - June 29th. An additional night (that of June 30th) can be booked when registering for an additional fee of $84.
Alcohol cannot be consumed in common areas of dorms or around campus. Please be sensitive to the fact that there are young children present at camps on campus and in our dorms.
Parking: Cars should be parked in the two designated areas highlighted in the map below (Legends and Stadium Parking Lot). There is a parking permit fee of 3$ per day. Permits can be obtained at the registration. People can park in the Rivers Street Parking Deck but the passes will NOT cover the cost to park there.
