Lodging

Three hotels are located within easy walking distance of the Core Lab. If you have a car, it's best to leave it at the hotel and walk to/from the lab each day.

LacCore staff can call hotels to verify contract status if necessary.

University Visitor Housing

The University Housing web page provides links and information for several low-cost, nearby housing options for visiting faculty, staff, and students. In particular, look at the links for "Short-Term Off-Campus Guest Housing", "Guest of Faculty or Staff Housing", and (if appropriate) "Summer Guest Housing". Lab visitors have used several of these options, including the Historic Faculty House and Wales House, and summer housing in University dormitories.
