Talks are in JWB 335 and LCB 121. Both are large enough and are equipped with an LCD projector. JWB 335 has a large set of sliding chalk boards while LCB 121 only has white boards. Note that the University Guest House includes a complimentary continental breakfast. Registration and coffee/tea are in the same room as the lectures.

Here is a map from the Guest House to the math department.
