TRANSPORTATION:
Please read the description of transportation options and fill in your needs
above. If there is sufficient demand, we will try to arrange shuttle service
between the conference hotels Durant and Marriott, MSRI, the banquet, and back.
MSRI is located at the top of the Berkeley Hills, and
is too far to walk comfortably from the conference hotels, banquet or campus.
The banquet will be held in the Grand Ballroom of the Berkeley Conference
Center, 2105 Bancroft, at the corner of Shattuck in downtown Berkeley.
Getting to MSRI on your own:
There is limited free parking available at MSRI (off Centennial,
above the Lawrence Hall of Science). There is also public bus service:
the #8 AC Transit bus leaves from the corner
of Center and Shattuck in downtown Berkeley at 7:10am, 7:40am, 8:10am
and 8:40am and takes 20 minutes to get to the Lawrence Hall of Science,
from which it is a further 5-10 minute walk uphill to MSRI. Saturday campus bus
service is not currently available but is scheduled to be in operation by
the time of the conference.
Getting to the banquet on your own:
There is public parking for $2 on Kittredge just west of Shattuck,
a block north and west of the banquet. There is also parking under the
banquet center in the Banway Building for $3.50 in quarters. The same
#8 bus goes back from Lawrence Hall to downtown Berkeley near the
banquet hall in the afternoon.
HOTEL INFORMATION:
We have been able to reserve only 40 rooms for the
conference. Some other departments are having conferences the same weekend.
You must make your own reservation directly with the hotel, but mention the
conference.
20 single rooms reserved: Durant Hotel, 2600 Durant Ave, Berkeley 94704;
at the campus; 510-845-8981. $75/single. (Only singles are available.)
20 rooms reserved: Marriott Hotel, 200 Marina Blvd., Berkeley; at the
Berkeley Marina, 1 1/2 miles from campus, city bus service is convenient.
510-548-7920. $85 flat rate per room for a single double, triple, or quad.
Other possibilities include
The Women's Faculty Club (510-642-4175, on campus),
The Men's Faculty Club (510-642-1993, on campus), and
The Shattuck Hotel (510-845-7300, downtown Berkeley).
