Local Weather and eBikes
College Station has a humid subtropical climate (Köppen Cfa) and experiences mean daily highs in August of ~36C / 97F, with the occasional tropical rain shower in the afternoon. Appropriate clothing (for the heat and rain) and refillable water bottles are highly recommended.
To avoid long walks in the heat, Veo eBikes can be short-term rented via the Veo app and picked-up/dropped-off almost anywhere on campus and the nearby neighborhoods.
Lecture Hall
The Workshop on Precision Measurements with Radioisotopes will be held in the J. Cain Building in Lecture Hall 202 on the Texas A&M campus. You can access the building from Spence Street as shown in the photos below.

Please use the following path to access the lecture hall JCAIN 202 on the second floor of the JCAIN Building. The JCAIN ground floor houses the large Physics and Engineering Workshop and a large loading bay, so not every staircase in the building has access to the second floor.
