If you are arriving before the program begins or remaining after its conclusion and would like to request a visitors office in Houston, email Houston Reception as soon as possible. They will do their best to accommodate all requests for a visitors office.
Attire is business casual.
Ground transportation in Houston is readily available through Taxi, Uber and Lyft.
- Uber/Lyft tip: If you are taking a ride to the Houston office, please enter the street address (1221 McKinney St.). Uber and Lyft have not responded to requests to update our address in their systems, so if you just type in “Reed Smith,” you might end up at our former Houston office.
