Venue, hotel, parking and travel

All ASXL Research Symposium events will be held at Simmons University on the 5th Floor of Helen G. Drinan Hall (formerly called the Management and Academic Building). The official address of Simmons University is 300 The Fenway; however, the following addresses provide better navigational guidance. 

PLEASE NOTE: You must enter Drinan Hall from the quad-side door (marked as “Entrance” on the provided map).  Look for and follow signs on campus and in the parking garage with the ARRE Foundation logo.

Walking or taxi/ride share drop off

Parking garage** (under Helen G. Drinan Hall)

1 Palace Road
Boston, MA 02115

Note on the map that the entrance to the parking garage driveway is before you reach 1 Palace Road, which is a one-way street. Once parked, follow signs to the elevator to Drinan Hall. See additional information for parkers below.

**If you are parking onsite, please note these two key points:

1. Please see the staff at registration for a validation sticker that will provide a reduced rate each day you park. This sticker should be placed on your parking ticket.

2. The elevator from the parking garage up to the entrance of Drinan Hall goes to a vestibule with a door that opens into Drinan Hall but this door is locked on weekends. We will have staff there to open the door during peak arrival times on Saturday and Sunday; if you arrive at an off-peak time and this door is locked, please follow signs to exit the vestibule and walk around the building to enter on the quad side of the building to the unlocked door.
