A/V equipment, wi-fi:
The projector we'll being using for the SONAD talks has a VGA plug only.
So presenters should bring their own VGA adaptor, as required.
There is also a desktop PC available in the "teaching station" running
Windows and with Powerpoint 2010 and Adobe Reader. There are some USB plugs
on the teaching station, and they can be used if people
bring their talk on a USB key. So, it might be good to bring your talk on
a USB key too, just in case you have trouble connecting your computer to
the projector.
Participants who are from various universities can connect to the Internet
using the eduroam wireless network.
Lunch:
On campus: The closest place for lunch is the cafeteria
in the basement of the Sandford Fleming building.
Quick, fairly cheap and easy, offers lots of tables to sit,
but has limited variety.
Another on campus cafeteria is in the Medical Sciences building,
across from King's College Rd and on King's College Circle,
very close to Sandford Fleming building.
This cafeteria is large and can accommodate several people.
Limited selection.
Yet another on campus cafeteria is in the main floor
of the Bahen Center for Information Technology,
40 St. George Street, still close to Sandford Fleming building.
Limited seating.
Around: College street near St. George street has several restaurants,
however, if you are willing to walk
about two blocks south of campus, you will find one
of the most colourful ethnic dining streets, Baldwin St.
Also, if you walk two blocks west on College,
you reach Spadina Avenue and the China town.
The diagram (not to be scaled)
shows some restaurants on College and Baldwin streets,
and on Spadina Avenue.
You can also see the Google map with suggestions by Alec Jacobson,
a faculty member in our graphics group.
