Visiting us

If you are visiting us, we need to arrange a gate pass for you. Please provide the name, email address, and nationality of each visitor in your party, and bring your ID (passport ideal for international visitors). Please let us know if you are coming by car or by shuttle bus. When you arrive, contact your host who will meet you in the ALS lobby to escort you to the beamline.

Travelling By Car

If travelling by car, you must arrive via the main (Blackberry) gate as seen on the site map. Show your party's IDs at the gate to receive your parking permit. Your parking spot is normally in lot "N2" or else along "Segre Road" near the ALS building.

Travelling By LBNL Shuttle Bus

You should take the blue shuttle from campus or downtown BART station. If you have received a bus pass, show it to the driver and they will allow access to the site and you should get off at the stop labelled “B52” on the map of the previous link. Go down the hill past the N2 lot into the main entrance.

Then follow the road downhill to the main ALS entrance. My office is upstairs, clockwise direction (turn left at top of stairs) and go to room 2250 down the hall.
