The Berkeley Lab Blue Shuttle (Uphill route) picks up on the East side of Shattuck Avenue between Alston Way and Center St. The stop is near Target, in front of the Jupiter restaurant and a BART (regional light rail) entrance that has a covering with stairs leading down into the station. A small sign on the pole indicates the Berkeley Lab shuttle (in addition to other routes that serve the stop).

Board the shuttle bus and show the driver a copy of your visitor pass and a photo ID. (Do not take other shuttle routes such as Orange.) Tell the driver you are going to the "Building 65 stop" and ask them to let you know when you are there.  

When the Shuttle arrives at Blackberry Gate (the main gate for Berkeley Lab), site security will call in your name and confirm that you are on the visitor list. While this is happening, look up and to the right. Building 59, the site of the NUG meeting, will be visible.

After the shuttle passes through the gate, it will climb an incline and turn left into a circle drive with three flagpoles. Get off the shuttle at this stop and turn to face the main road. 

The map below shows a birds-eye image of the route in pink. Across the street is Perlmutter Road (marked with a street sign). 

Cross the main street and walk up the hill on Perlmutter Road. Use the white-painted cross-hatched pathway on the left of the road until you reach a painted crosswalk. 

Cross to the right side of the road at the crosswalk. Directly ahead you will see a yellow "pedestrian access" sign that directs you behind the retaining wall and toward the Building 59/Shyh Wang Hall entrance, which has an overhang. Someone will be waiting there to let you in.
