    For convenience, directions from the Atlanta airport to the Marriott Courtyard, Fairfield Inn, and Georgia Tech Pettit Microelectronics Center are:

    To Georgia Tech's Microelectronics Center from the Airport: Take Interstate 85 North (it merges with I-75 North as well) through downtown Atlanta to Exit 101, 10th Street/14th Street. At the light at the end of the exit ramp, turn left onto 10th St. Continue several blocks and turn left State Street. Continue to the traffic light and turn left onto Ferst Drive. At the next traffic light, turn right onto Atlantic Drive. The third building on your left, between the College of Computing and the Van Leer Electrical Engineering Building, is the Microelectronics Center. Park in the parking lot up the inclined driveway to your right as you pass the building.

    To the Marriott Courtyard from the Airport: Take Interstate 85 North (it merges with I-75 North as well) through downtown Atlanta to Exit 101, 10th Street/14th Street. Continue straight through the light at the end of the exit ramp across 10th St. to the next light, which is 14th St. Turn left onto 14th St. and cross over the freeway. Take the first left after you cross the freeway onto Techwood Drive; there is a Wolf Camera Shop on this corner. The Marriott Courtyard is immediately behind the camera shop on your right.

At the 2nd traffic light, turn left onto Hwy. 19 South (Spring Street). The hotel is one block ahead on your right.

    To Georgia Tech's Microelectronics Center from either hotel: From the Courtyard, exit right (south) out of the parking lot. Bear right at the fork in the road. At the stop sign, turn right onto 10th St. From the Fairfield Inn, drive south on Spring St. until you come to 10th St. Turn right onto 10th St. and cross over the freeway.

The third building on your left, between the College of Computing and the Van Leer Electrical Engineering Building, is the Microelectronics Center. Park in the parking lot up the inclined driveway to your right as you pass the building.
