*** New Updates: 10/02***

Site Access: Individual "gate passess" are not needed and thus will not be send by email. Instead, LBNL shuttle drivers and security guards at the LBNL gates will have a list of attendees. If you registered online, your name will be on this list. Please mention your name to the driver or to security at the gate of LBNL and that you are attending the STAR Collaboration meeting and show a picture ID.

We encourage you to take the LBNL shuttle bus. The schedule and map can be found here. For attendees located in Hotel Durant, "orange bus" shuttle stop is located on the corner of Bancroft and College. For attendees located near Downtown Berkeley, "orange bus" or "blue bus" shuttle stop is located on Shattuck in front of Bank of America.

Driving to the Meeting: We don't recommend driving to the lab because parking at LBNL is notoriously difficult and due to ongoing construction will even be more difficult during the time of the collaboration meeting. However, you can obtain a parking permit at the gate.

Saturday Shuttle: LBNL Shuttle will be picking up from two stops: (1) Front of Hotel Durant, (2) Bart Station in front of Bank of America. The shuttle will run before the meeting from 8:00am - 9:00am and after the meeting from 12:30pm - 1:30pm.
