San Luis Obispo is situated in the foothills of the Santa Lucia Range, eight miles inland from the Pacific Ocean at Avila Beach, and minutes from the central coast wine country. The climate in the San Luis Obispo area is moderate with warm, dry summers and a strong maritime influence. There are a number of places to stay around the Institute. Depending on the project or program, facility arrangements can be coordinated by the Institute, or by participating companies or individuals.
