The workshop will be held on the campus of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) in the Materials Sciences Building (building 66) Auditorium. The lab is located in the Berkeley hills just above the campus of the University of California Berkeley.
The lab's shuttle buses pick up employees and visitors near the Bay Area Rapid Transit station in downtown Berkeley. Workshop attendees should catch the shuttle marked "Orange Uphill" to the building 66 stop.
IMPORTANT: Please PRINT OUT your lab shuttle pass and present it and a picture ID to the driver to ride the lab shuttle.
Shuttle drivers cannot accept bus passes presented on a phone, tablet or other electronic device. If you do not have a bus pass print-out, the driver will drop you at the main gate security kiosk to verify the validity of your pass. This process can add up to 10 minutes to your trip, so please don't forget to print out your pass.
If you are driving, the Strawberry Canyon Gate is close to the building 66 auditorium. There is limited parking and we recommend arriving early. Please print the visitor pass provided by Site Access and bring it with you, along with a picture ID. An interactive map of the lab is available to help guide you to the correct location: http://map.lbl.gov/#UMAP_2012091840117%7CBLD_2012092113304
