Maps
The HSMC will be held at the Instructional Center (IC), which is home to a number of classes for the ISyE dept. The GT campus map shows where the IC is located, along with the Student Center parking deck. When you park, please park by the SC deck in the surface lot labeled Area 3.
A map of the IC's internal layout will be provided when you register; the main announcements and awards will be held in the Tannenbaum auditorium, while other events will be spread in/around the building, weather permitting.

- Do NOT park in any handicap, service vehicle, or other reserved space unless you have the proper permits!
