On-Campus accommodation
The 35th annual Workshop on Instruction in Library Use will be held
at Acadia University in Wolfville, Nova Scotia from May 10 - 12, 2006. While
attending the conference, you are invited to take advantage of the
Universitys affordable and comfortable accommodations.
Since 2001, Acadias residential properties have
undergone major renovations and the University has set new standards for
accommodations in a campus setting. On the outside, world-class architecture
and stunning views of the Annapolis Valley skyline. Inside, spacious rooms with
traditional Shaker styling capture the essence and history of the region. Rooms
are furnished with desks, ergonomic chairs, private phones and Internet
connections; everything to prepare for productive meetings.
The conference has reserved Roy Jodrey Hall, the newest of
Acadias guest properties. Opened in August 2003, this architectural gem
is located within walking distance of meeting facilities and has 48 individual
rooms, as well as 16 3 bedroom suites (can be modified to 2 bedroom
suites). Each room includes a double bed and ample space for your belongings.
There is one private bathroom facility for every four individual rooms. Each
suite includes a private bathroom and a common lounge/sitting area.
