One way to find directions and hotels is to go to

which will yield these maps
General directions from the University Ave. exit on I-80 are as
follows:
- Proceed up University Avenue (toward
the Berkeley Hills), about 3 miles, until you reach Oxford
Street, (Oxford Street dead-ends into the west side of campus.)
- Make a LEFT on Oxford Street.
- Make a RIGHT onto Hearst Avenue (at the second stop light).
- Proceed up Hearst Avenue, to the second stop light which is Gayley
Road. Cory Hall is on the corner of Hearst/Gayley.
Parking around the UC Berkeley Campus can be difficult.
We encourage visitors to take
public transportation.
Instructions from BART
- If you take Bart, get off at the Downtown Berkeley station.
- Take the
UC Berkeley Shuttle (Cost: $1)
Note that it is possible to walk from Bart to Cory Hall,
but the walk is 20 minutes uphill.
The UC Berkeley Shuttle stop is on Shattuck between Center and Addison.
Unfortunately, Shattuck Ave is split at that location, so the shuttle
stop can be confusing to find, see the map below:
The shuttle stop is on the East side (toward the hills) of
Berkeley Square.
Get off at Cory Hall, located on Hearst Ave, just past Soda Hall.
Pay Parking at the Lower Hearst Lot
See the UC
Berkeley Public Parking Site.
The Lower Hearst lot has a few slots pay spaces that are open to the
public. As of October, 2010 parking was $12/day.
Pay Parking at the Student Union Lot
Another option is to pay a flat fee of around $20 for the entire day and
park at the Student Union Lot on Bancroft Way and Telegraph.
(Google Maps,
MapQuest,
Yahoo Maps)
To reach the Student Union parking lot from I-80:
- Exit I-80 at Ashby Ave.
- Proceed east (towards the hills) approximately 3 miles.
- Turn left on Telegraph.
- Go approximately 2 miles, turn left turn Telegraph dead ends into
Bancroft Way.

Prepaid Parking
There are two types of permits
- A "C" permit (which, as of October, 2010, costs us $16) that
allows a visitor to park on any level of the parking structure across
from Cory.
- A "F" permit (which ,as of October, 2010, costs us $12) that
allows a vistor to park only on the second and third levels of the
parking structure across from Cory.
Note that parking in the structure across from Cory tends to fill up
by 8am. You may be able to leave your keys with the attendant. You
must pick up your keys by 6pm. If you do not pick up your keys by
6pm, then they will be left with the police department in Sproul Hall.
Don't forget to scratch off the date on the parking permit tag.
The campus policy has changed regarding prepaid parking for visitors.
The following options are now offered.
- We have found it easiest to have visitors let us know in advance
that they will require parking and then to call us from in front of
Cory Hall and we will bring down a parking pass. Visitors
may then park in the structure across from Cory (assuming there is space).
- A visitor parking pass can be sent to you in US mail if
you contact administrative staff associated with
your visit well in advance of your visit.
- If you are unable to make your request early enough to have a pass
mailed to you, you can request that staff leave a pass for you at
either the East Gate or West Gate kiosk. You will need to retrieve it
from the kiosk attendant who will direct you to where you should park.
Note that the kiosks open at 8am. Also, kiosks are not always
manned, so this method is not very reliable.
- You can go to the East Gate kiosk, provide the attendant with the
destination building/department names and the name of a contact person.
The attendant will give you directions for parking and a 20-minute
temporary pass to display while you go retrieve a parking pass from
your contact person.
Go to your contact person and obtain a parking pass for the day and
replace the temporary pass in your vehicle. Campus parking tickets are
expensive. If you do not replace the temporary 20-minute pass with an
all-day pass, you will be ticketed.
