--- Our contact at the USGS, Leah Morgan has reserved a space in the USGS building (exact room details to come)+-- Our contact at the USGS, Dr. Leah Morgan has been coordinating with us to host the workshop at the [[https://www.google.com/maps/place/USGS,+Federal+Center/@39.7143641,-105.2045477,12z/data=!4m6!3m5!1s0x876b86ad12471b19:0x375be5a35564a499!8m2!3d39.7229467!4d-105.1159275!16s%2Fg%2F11g65cc16j|USGS, Federal Center]] just outside Denver, CO. Thanks Leah! 
 + 
 +-- See map at the end of program for more details, but folks should enter the Federal Center Campus at the west entrance on W 2nd Pl near the intersection with Routt St. 
 + 
 +-- From there, folks who are walking should walk to the west side entrance of Building 95 in front of the half-circle roundabout. For folks driving, you can either park on the back side of building 95 on the east side and walk around the the front of Building 95 on the west side, or park in the lot directly south of the half-circle roundabout and enter through the front entrance. 
 + 
 +-- We will put up signage to the room in Building 95, but the room is called the "Training Room"

--- we plan on reserving rooms at details to come.+-- There are several options within a mile or so of the Denver Federal USGS office, but Leah recommends the following: 
 + 
 +**Hampton Inn Denver West Federal Center** \\ 
 +137 Union Blvd, Lakewood, CO 80228 \\ 
 ++1 303-969-9900 \\ 
 +**[[https://www.hilton.com/en/hotels/denlwhx-hampton-denver-west-federal-center/|Booking page]]** 
 + 
 +-- workshop attendees getting financial support are encouraged to stay at this hotel/one nearby, or to find accommodations the same price or cheaper than the rates at the Hampton Inn. 
 + 
 +-- apparently rates have gone up significantly for the Hampton Inn so perhaps look at the other hotels nearby such as the Homewood Suites by Hilton or Fairfield Inn and Suites by Marriott
