Radiation Effects Facility
Radiation Effects Facility
The Radiation Effects Facility is located within the Luedecke Cyclotron Institute building on the campus of Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas.
Our physical address is 120 Spence St, College Station, TX. On campus, we are directly across Spence Street from the Zachary Engineering Education Complex and directly behind the Jack E. Brown Engineering Building.
College Station is served locally by Easterwood Airport (CLL). Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) is an alternative (1.5 hour drive), as is Austin's Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) (2 hour drive).
Hotels are plentiful in the College Station area, with many located less than a mile from the Cyclotron Institute.
The College Station Visitors Bureau has a good list of accomodations.
Parking near the Cyclotron Institute building is limited. There are four 24-hour reserved spaces that have been designated for Cyclotron Institute visitors. These spaces do not require a hang-tag and you are free to use them if they are open. The Northside Parking Garage and the Polo Road Parking Garage are additional options.
