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.
