Facilities

AIM activities take place in the beautiful Richard N. Merkin Center for Pure and Applied Mathematics, on the eighth floor of Caltech Hall on the Caltech campus in Pasadena, California. The space has a lecture area and seminar rooms designed for AIM style workshops and collaborative research. A comfortable "family room" with couches, puzzles, and board games is the ideal place to socialize over coffee in the morning, after lunch, or during happy hour.

Caltech Hall is not open to the public. The week before their program, AIM visitors receive instructions to access the building. During the program, visitors will have an access card giving them access to the Merkin Center throughout the week. The card also gives them access to a small library of mathematics books on the 9th floor of Caltech Hall, which participants are welcome to use during their visit.

During workshops and SQuaREs, a variety of snacks and drinks are provided througout the day. AIM does not provide meals for participants. Instead, fully funded participants receive a per diem included in their travel reimbursement.

Visitors should bring their own laptops to AIM. The eduroam wifi network is available throughout campus. AIM visitors withouth eduroam access will be given a temporary account on the Caltech Visitor network.
