BOSTON UNIVERSITY
ASTRONOMY DEPARTMENT
Facilities
The Astronomy Department is located in the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) building at 725 Commonwealth Avenue in Boston. We are approximately one mile west of Kenmore Square, the location of two famous Boston landmarks: Fenway Park and the Citgo sign. (The Citgo sign can be seen for many miles, and is an excellent landmark to use when trying to find us by car.) For more information about Boston University, including maps and directions, check the BU Visitor Center web page.

Room Schedules
The links below will connect you to the BU Webevent site, where you can view the room schedules, and request a room reservation. After the room administrator approves the request the reservation will appear on the schedule. I have listed the primary administrator for each room in parentheses in the event you have any questions about your room reservation. In general, rooms can only be requested by members of our community (Astronomy Department, Center for Space Physics, Center for Space Weather Modelling, and the Institute for Astrophysical Research). If you are not a member of our community and wish to use a room, please contact the Astronomy Department Chairman. Any other restrictions on room use should be listed on the page.
