Q: Where can I park?
When you register for Alumni Reunion Weekend, you have the opportunity to purchase reserved parking behind the law school for $40 each day of the weekend. If you purchase parking as part of your reunion registration, we will contact you directly via email a few days before reunion weekend with details of where to go and how you’ll enter the parking lot.
Street parking in the neighborhood surrounding the law school is controlled by parking restrictions, and most spots have a 2-hour limit. If you park in the City of Berkeley, please check for posted parking restrictions. You can find more information about visitor parking here.
Concerts will take place at the Greek Theatre on both evenings of Alumni Reunion Weekend. This will impact the number of available parking spaces near the law school, and we expect local parking spaces to fill up by 6:00 pm. The concerts will also impact traffic on the roads around the law school.
Q: What address do I use for dropoffs and pickups?
2745 Bancroft Way is a good address to use for rideshare and taxi pickups and drop-offs. This address will guide drivers to the Simon Hall door, which is located off of Steinhart Courtyard, and just up the sidewalk from East Courtyard, where our registration tables will be located.
