To the ALS Users' Meeting at Berkeley Lab

Parking at Berkeley Lab is extremely limited so we strongly suggest attendees either carpool or plan use the complimentary shuttle service provided between the Berkeley City Club and Berkeley Lab each day. Buses will leave from the front of the hotel at 7:15 Thurday a.m., 7:45 Friday, and 8:00 a.m. Saturday.

For those not staying at the Berkeley City Club, parking is available in the Sather Gate Garage located at 2450 Durant Ave. (two blocks from the Hotel Durant). The parking lot is open from 7:00 a.m. - 1:00 a.m. Parking is automated, with the maximum cost at $12.00 (for 8-18 hours). To get to the Laboratory from the garage, you may board the regular Berkeley Lab shuttle bus at Telegraph and Bancroft Streets (north side of street near the regular AC Transit bus stop) and or use the special shuttle service from the Berkeley City Club.
