Directions to the Lab

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory is located in Berkeley, on the hillside directly above the campus of the University of California at Berkeley.  The address is One Cyclotron Road, Berkeley, California 94720.  For comprehensive directions to the lab, please refer to

Airport Shuttle Recommendation:  Bay Porter 

We recommend using Bay Porter, as the laboratory has used them for many years, and their service is very good and timely.  They have shuttles from the San Francisco (SFO) and Oakland airports.  If you share a shuttle with other people (i.e., multiple stops), the rates are lower.  You can make online reservations at http://www.bayporter.com/

BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit)

Another option for getting to and from the airport is BART (SFO or Oakland to Berkeley takes about 50 to 60 minutes).  You would get off at the Downtown Berkeley BART station.  For those staying at the Durant Hotel, it is approximately a one mile walk from the Downtown Berkeley BART station.  The Shattuck Hotel is only a few blocks away from the station.  The BART weekend hours are not as frequent as the weekdays http://www.bart.gov/stations/schedules/lineSchedules.asp

Parking Information and Special Shuttle Bus Service:

Parking near the Conference location at Bldg. 66 is very limited.  Please contact the Conference Coordinator, Kathleen Brower (KHBrower@lbl.gov), if you will be driving to the lab.  There will be a special shuttle bus service between the conference hotels and the lab.  The shuttle bus will stop at the Durant and Shattuck hotels. 

For those who stay at the Durant Hotel, you would take the LBNL “Bancroft” bus.  That schedule can be found at http://www.lbl.gov/Workplace/Facilities/Support/Busses/off-site.html

For those staying at the Shattuck Hotel, you would take the LBNL “Hearst” bus, and that schedule is http://www.lbl.gov/Workplace/Facilities/Support/Busses/off-site-hearst.html
