Berkeley, CA
CNMAT is located up on a hill at 1750 Arch St., Berkeley, CA 94709 (between Hearst Ave. and Virginia Street). Please be aware that parking is a challenge around CNMAT and in Berkeley in general. Much of the area close to CNMAT is a vigorously enforced 2 hour zone, and we cannot allow guests to park on site.
For drivers, the nearest parking lot is Lower Hearst Structure, Level 2 (Scenic Ave. near Hearst Ave. in Berkeley – enter from Scenic Ave.): [MAP]
Public transit is also a good option to get to us (BART runs to Downtown Berkeley, with a 15-minute walk up to the site).
