We are excited to welcome you to Pittsburgh, PA!

We recommend beginning your travel research by visiting the CMU Travel and Accommodations page for information about the airport shuttle and details about ground transport into Pittsburgh.

Getting to the Tepper Quad and the Simmons Auditorium

If you visit this map link, aim for the Coulter Welcome Center. This will get you reliably close enough to the Simmons Auditorium to find us. DO NOT map to the pin that says "Simmons Auditorium." It will lead you astray.

If you are staying at the Hilton Garden Inn Pittsburgh University Center, there is a bus on Forbes Ave that picks up by the hotel and drops you off on Forbes Ave across the street from the venue. The easiest way to navigate the system is to use google maps and select the public transit option.

Visit the official Pittsburgh Regional Transit site for information about riding the buses, including details about which pass to download.

If you are coming from the Hilton, don't go all the way to the front doors of the Tepper Quad. The west-most corner of the Tepper Building on Forbes Ave is the closest entrance to the auditorium. There will be bright signs in the window indicating you've found the right place.

For information about parking, please visit the CMU visitor parking information page.

We have arranged a room block at the Hilton Garden Inn. Book your room before 11:59pm (Eastern time, US) on Monday, October 7 to get the group rate.

After this date, email the Hilton for reservations: PITUC-salesadm@hilton.com.
