Conference
Centre Accommodation
UbiComp
2004 takes place at the East Midlands Conference Centre,
based at the University of Nottingham. On-site accommodation
has been reserved at Cavendish
Hall for delegates at a special rate
of £47 for ensuite single rooms with bed
and breakfast. This rate also includes free of charge
use of the University's adjacent sports
resources, with swimming pool, fitness centre, and
facilities for squash, tennis, badminton, table tennis
and snooker.

The
hall surrounds a lawn quadrangle with its own rose garden,
and is reached via a bridge over a grass moat. A short
walk brings guests to the University boating lake with
its surrounding leafy paths - all extremely picturesque
and romantic.
