How to get to McMaster from Hamilton Downtown (HSR Map)
There will be no shuttle transportation provided from the local hotels to the conference venue.
However HSR buses 1, 5A/5C, and 51 run westward from the King St W. through the McMaster campus.
These buses stop at all HSR stops on the King St. If you take them, you will need to get off on the Sterling Street at the University stop, which is between the Art Museum and Divinity College.
You may also take HSR buses 5, 5E, and 10 towards McMaster. These buses run on the Main St. West, south of the McMaster
. If you take one of those buses, get off by the McMaster Hospital.
To get to the MDCL building, follow the McMaster Map.
