Notice: There was a parking garage on Kittredge
Street just off Milvia across from the theatre. This garage has been
torn
down and no longer exists. Parking is available in the former tennis
courts between Bancroft and Durant at Milvia. There may (or may not) be
a fee for parking in these lots.
BART
Take the Richmond line to the Berkeley station (not North Berkeley).
When you get off the train, go up one level to the turnstile level.
Take
the escalator up to street level. There is only one escalator to street
level and several stairways. Since the stairways put you in different
locations
it is difficult to give directions, therefore take the escalator. When
you exit the escalator you will be on Shattuck. Turn left (south) when
you exit the escalator. Walk (south) down Shattuck to the end of the
block.
This is Allston Way. Cross Allston Way and turn right (west) onto
Allston
Way. Walk two blocks to Milvia Street. You are now across the street
from
the theatre. Cross Milvia Street and continue walking on Allston Way.
The
entrance gate(s) to the theatre will be on your left.
Driving from I-80
Take the University exit from I-80 and head toward the hills (east,
away from the bay). You will be on University Avenue. Follow University
for quite a way. Turn right (south) onto Milvia Street. There is a
traffic
light at the corner of University and Milvia. Drive for three block on
Milvia to Allston Way (there is a traffic light). If you turn right
(west)
onto Allston way, the entrance gates to the theatre will be on your
left.
Driving from route 24 and the Caldecott tunnel
After you exit the tunnel, take the Berkeley exit. This road has
several
names depending where you are. It is Route 13, Tunnel Road, and Ashby
Avenue.
If you follow it, it will eventually become Ashby Avenue. Follow Ashby
towards the bay. Turn right (north) onto Martin Luther King, Jr. Way
(there
is a traffic light at this corner). Follow Martin Luther King, Jr. Way,
for about 12 blocks, to Allston Way and turn right
(east).
There is a traffic light at this corner. Once you turn onto Allston
Way,
the entrance gate(s) will be on your right.
Driving from the south on 880
When you get to Oakland, follow signs to Berkeley and to I-80. Once
you are on I-80, take the University exit and follow the directions
above
for "Driving from I-80".
Driving from the south on 580
The easiest instructions are to stay on 580 until you see the exit
for I-80 and Berkeley. Get on I-80 (north? east?) and exit at
University.
Then follow the directions above for "Driving from I-80".
Driving from the south on 580 (alternate route)
The following directions will have you exit 580 at Martin Luther King,
Jr., shortly after the Grand Avenue exit. This route is quicker and
generally
has much less traffic. It is much more complicated to navigate. From
now
on Martin Luther King, Jr. Way will be referred to as MLK.
From 580, take the MLK/51st Street exit, continue to MLK (left from
exit under BART), continue 14 stop lights to Allston Way. There is a
traffic
light at MLK and Allston. Turn Right onto Allston. The entrance to the
campus will be on your right. Note: When exiting
from
580, remain in center lane and when you come to any fork in the road,
always
take the left fork. There is a fork at Alcatraz and Adeline
streets
before the BART station/parking lot. As usual, take the left fork to
continue
on MLK.
