Distance to workshop meeting rooms
As the Sheraton-University City is located two blocks east of the International House (see map below), the distances to both Community College of Philadelphia and University of Pennsylvania are very similar. They are seven minutes away from Penn's Williams Hall -- a nice walking distance for Tuesday (June 18), Friday (June 21), and Saturday (June 22), when events will be held at University of Pennsylvania.
Please note that on Tuesday morning and Saturday afternoon arrangements will be made to visit the Penn Archaeological Museum's world-famous Chinese collection. It is three blocks east of Williams Hall.
