   Your destination is the Callcott Building on a south segment of  Bull Street near downtown Columbia.  

 
Arriving by Airplane
The Columbia airport (CAE) is small and convenient.  We will provide at least one van to shuttle participants to and from the CAE airport.  On the other hand, if you want to rent a car, the Charlotte airport (CLT) is about two hours away.  The CLT airport is much larger and air fares are usually less.  If you fly into CLT and drive to Columbia, go from the airport to Interstate 77 and follow the driving directions from I77. 
  If you are arriving at the Columbia airport and would like a ride from the airport to your hotel room, send us an email (please copy to both: AJames@sc.edu; BarrineP@email.sc.edu) with your expected arrival time, flight number, hotel name, and cell phone number; and we will try to accommodate you by scheduling group pickups.
