NYU Dormitory/Residence Hall Housing (Weinstein Hall, etc.): -DOWNLOAD RESERVATION FORM-

Conference Organizers have arranged for a limited number of spaces to be reserved for conference participants in NYU Dormitory Housing. We expect most of our participants choosing dorm housing to be housed in Weinstein Hall, which is located at 5-11 University Place. Reservations are based on double occupancy bedrooms in multi bedroom units (2-5 people per unit) with shared baths. Single occupancy bedrooms may be requested and are a higher cost, however, they are limited and cannot be guaranteed. ALL DORM RESERVATIONS ARE FINAL AND NON-REFUNDABLE. All rooms are air-conditioned and furnished with twin size beds, dressers and desks. All facilities have 24 hour security and all participants will be required to show picture id in order to enter the dorms. Family housing requests, including spouses, partners and children cannot be accommodated. Participants needing this type of accommodation should seek hotel accommodations. Participants must be at least 17 years of age. Early arrivals are not permitted and reservations cannot be extended beyond the dates of the conference.

The reception desk in the dorm is the primary contact point for information, check-in, check-out, maintenance concerns, messages and emergencies. Conference Organizers will not be available within the dorm for assistance.

Linens are provided at check-in. Linen packages include a small towel, sheet set, pillow, and blanket. No linen exchanges will be made during the duration of the conference. You may wish to bring a few items of your own to supplement this supply such as alarm clock, soap, shampoo, hair dryer with adaptor if necessary, etc. Kmart and several other stores are nearby for most basics if you forget something.

No cleaning, maid or meal services will be provided during your stay. You are responsible for the daily upkeep of your room.

Coin operated laundry facilities are available for your use.

Telephones and televisions are not provided in rooms. Public telephones and a tv lounge are available within the dorm.

NYU Guest Accommodations at the Sheraton Manhattan Hotel
For changes, cancellations and information, please call the
NYU Reservations Office at (212) 443-4700

Dear Guest:

Due to the unexpected early completion of renovations at the Sheraton Manhattan Hotel and a large convention at the Sheraton New York Hotel the conference organizers have arranged for the SED Design 2002 group to change hotel venues.

Members of the "SED Design 2002" meeting sponsored by the NYU CV Starr Center for Applied Economics will now be staying at the Sheraton Manhattan Hotel. Located at 790 Seventh Avenue, the hotel is on Seventh Avenue at the corner of 52nd Street in Manhattan.

The Sheraton Manhattan hotel is directly opposite the location of your previous booking at the Sheraton New York hotel.

All of your confirmation information previously emailed to you, including your reservation number, remains the same.


ALL RESERVATIONS MUST BE MADE THROUGH THE NYU GUEST ACCOMMODATIONS DESK BY FAXING IN THE ATTACHED RESERVATION FORM IN ORDER TO RECEIVE THE CONFERENCE HOTEL ROOM RATE, which is approximately $40 less than the standard cost of the same room. Contacting the hotel directly will only cause confusion on the part of all parties. The NYU Guest Accommodations Desk telephone number is: 212-443-4700 Please direct all inquiries concerning your reservation to this telephone number. Thank you.
