Visitor information

Seminars are held normally on Wednesdays, 11 am - 12 noon, in 325 Physics North (previously named LeConte Hall), unless noted otherwise. Physics North/South is immediately adjacent to Birge Hall and close to the Campanile, in the eastern (towards the Berkeley hills) part of campus. Directions to the Berkeley campus, parking information and other visitor information can be accessed at http://www.berkeley.edu/visitors/. A campus map can be found at http://www.berkeley.edu/map/, or an annotated map can be found at Google maps.

Directions for those traveling from Lawrence Berkeley Labs:

Walk or take the LBL shuttle bus to the East Gate entry to campus. From there, walk downhill along the road. Physics North/South will be on your left.

Directions for those traveling by BART:

The Bay Area Rapid Transit system offers easy access to the University without the hassle of parking. Take a BART train to the Berkeley stop, located in downtown Berkeley. The Physics buildings can be reached by foot in about 10 minutes. Simply walk uphill along Center St., entering campus through West Gate, and make your way to the Campanile (tall clock tower) which should be visible from most places. The Physics building is directly uphill from the Campanile. One can also ride a campus shuttle bus (for a nominal fee) from the BART station to the East Gate entrance to campus. From there, walk downhill along the road. Phyiscs North/South will be on your left, and follow the directions above.

Directions for those driving to campus:

Driving directions can be found at http://www.berkeley.edu/visitors/. Pay special attention to the section on parking; one should plan on using one of the public parking facilities indicated on that website (the Sather Gate and Student Union lots are more convenient). Be sure to allow some spare time to park.

Directions from Bay Area Airports:

The UC Berkeley campus can be reached easily from both the Oakland International and San Francisco International airports. From either airport, you can travel to campus by public transportation, taxi/ride sharing, and airport shuttles.  If taking public transportation, take the BART train to the Berkeley stop, and follow directions above.  If traveling to the Faculty Club or Women's Faculty Club on campus, both of which are very close to the Physics buildings, you may consult their websites for further directions.
