WPI's official
directions get you to campus (by car or commuter rail), but direct
you to admissions visitor parking. Parking closer to the venue is
available in the Boynton street lot (aka Library Lot or East Lot), on
Boynton street between Institute Road and Salisbury streets (campus map).
It's the only lot on the street, across from the large building
construction. Park anywhere in the lot (ignore the signs about permit
parking)--WPI is on break the day of the meeting, so parking permits
are not enforced.
If you follow WPI's "directions from the East", they'll take you onto
Boynton street; the lot will be on your right.
If you follow WPI's directions from "South or West", once you get
on route 9 you'll pass through a series of lights at a large
intersection before heading up a small hill. Stay in the right lane
over the hill, passing through one light at the top of the hill, then
another a block later. Turn right onto Boynton three blocks past
this light, immediately before the Exxon station (on the left). The
lot will be on your left a couple of blocks up the road. If you miss
the turn, turn right at the light (West street), then right at the
stop sign (onto Institute road), then left at the stop sign onto
Boynton street.
