December 10, 2009. Directions to Lawrence
Hall of Science (LHS): 1) By BART (Bay Area
Rapid Transit) from San Francisco: Take the Pittsburg/Bay Point line and
transfer at 19th St. Oakland to the Richmond line. Exit at the Downtown
Berkeley station, by the central escalator. Two charter buses that go directly to LHS will
leave the Berkeley BART station every 15 minutes between 7:30 and 8:50, timed
to coincide with BART train arrivals. A student volunteer will be stationed
at the bus stop to help direct passengers to the proper bus. The buses will
have 'Gilbert Club' signs in the windows. The bus stop is in front of
the BART station escalator exit on Shattuck between Allston Way and Center
Street. Please note that in previous years the pickup site was on Center
Street whereas this year it will be on Shattuck. When registering for the
meeting, please let us know if you anticipate taking the bus from BART to LHS
in the morning. We expect that later buses may fill up quickly, so please
consider arriving early. 2) By car: Take the University Avenue exit off I-80 (which is
also I-580). If you're coming from San Francisco, take the Bay Bridge, keep
to the left to get on I-80 east (same as I-580 west, go figure...). Proceed
east on University Ave. about 2 miles until it ends at Oxford Street, the
west campus entrance. Do NOT enter campus but turn left on Oxford and then
take a right at the second traffic light onto Hearst Avenue, which runs along
the north perimeter of campus. The third stop light will be Gayley Road, turn
right. Turn left at the first stop sign onto Stadium Rimway. Turn left at the
next stop sign onto Centennial Drive. Climb the hill about 1 mile, LHS will
be on your left, parking on both your right and left. Parking costs ~$7.00
for the day. You need to pay at machines, which are scattered about the
parking lots. Make sure to note the number of your parking stall before
leaving your car; the machines will ask for your parking stall number. You
will receive a receipt at the machine, but you do NOT need to return to your
car to display the receipt. 3) If you miss the
charter bus and don’t have a car: You can take public transit to the Lawrence Hall of
Science. From San Francisco, take the Pittsburg/Bay Point
line on BART and transfer at 19th St. Oakland to the Richmond line. Exit at
the Downtown Berkeley station, by the central escalator. AC Transit Bus Line 65 leaves from the Downtown
Berkeley BART Station at 30 minutes past the hour on Saturdays and arrives at
the Lawrence Hall of Science 23 minutes later. For folks who need to leave
early, Line 65 departs LHS at 55 minutes after the hour, arriving at the
downtown Berkeley BART at about 20 minutes after the hour. The fare for AC
transit is $2 each way (exact change required). The last bus leaves the
Lawrence Hall of Science at 6:55 pm. Additional information is available at www.actransit.org.
