Campus Map and Parking
A campus map is here: www.berkeley.edu/map/
A great landmark to find the school is the California Memorial Stadium — we are below the stadium by one block and behind the Haas School of Business.
Unfortunately, we cannot provide reserved parking. Here is a link to suggested public parking areas: pt.berkeley.edu/park/public
Parking at any major University can be a challenge, so do allow yourself EXTRA time!
