Public Metered Disabled Visitor Permits GSR Permits Campus Permits

Public Parking

Lower Hearst Parking Structure

The closest public parking to Cory Hall is on LEVEL 2 of the Lower Hearst Parking Structure. It's located on the corner of Hearst Ave and Euclid. These spaces will be utilized to accommodate campus patrons who need parking for limited periods of time, rather than all day. No permit is required to utilize this paid parking.

Center Street Garage

Public parking provided by the City of Berkeley is located at 2025 Center Street between Shattuck and Milvia Street. To get to Cory and Soda Halls from the garage, walk to the UC shuttle stop at the north-east corner of Center and Shattuck, and take the blue-and-white shuttle to the Cory Hall stop (at the corner of Hearst and Gayley). Soda Hall is the green tiled building located across the street.

Cost: 1hr = $1, 2hrs = $3, 3hrs = $6, 4hrs = $10, over 5hrs = $15

Student Union Garage

A campus garage for visitors is located on Bancroft Avenue just below the intersection of Telegraph Avenue. The garage charges by the hour and it is best to arrive by 9 a.m. to insure a place. Enter the garage by the driveway on the right hand side as you go down Bancroft Way towards Oxford Avenue. The garage is located directly below the ASUC Student Center.

It takes about 15 minutes to walk from the ASUC to Cory or Soda Hall. See the campus map for directions.

Metered Parking

One- and two-hour meters are located on city streets around campus. Usually these are difficult to find, and does not allow you enough time for your campus visit. Meters take quarters and nickles only.

Parking for the Disabled

There is disabled parking behind Cory Hall, near Bechtel Engineering Center, and in the Virus Lot (in front of Stanley Hall). Please be aware that the spaces near Bechtel Engineering Center are reserved for specific persons and cannot be used during certain hours. For more information about accessible parking on campus, please see UC Berkeley Parking and Transportation .

Permit Parking at the East Gate

If you have been invited to visit the University by the department and have been told to park at the East Gate, here's what you do:

  1. Follow the directions to the Hearst/Gayley intersection as described in the directions for locating Cory Hall or Soda Hall.

  2. Turn right (south) onto Gayley Road. (Note the parking structure across the street from Cory Hall, located at the corner of Hearst and Gayley).

  3. Proceed south on Gayley about a block and take the first right which will bring you to the East Gate entrance of the UC Berkeley Campus.

  4. Stop at the East Gate and there will be a parking pass in your name. If there are any problems obtaining a permit, ask the attendant to call your EECS or CS host (2-1042).

    A permit is good for one car per day in UCB-designated visitor parking zones; your host pays for the permit from a designated account.

  5. If you wish to park in the East Gate lot, the attendant will give you further instructions. You may park on campus in any designated "Central" campus lot. The two closest to Cory and Soda Halls are:

    • The garage at the northwest corner of Hearst Avenue and Gayley Street (Parking Structure H) on any level.

    • The UCB lot at the northeast corner of Scenic and Hearst Avenues (Parking Structure A).

    • Any designated visitor spaces around the fountain near the East Gate.

Night/Weekend Permits for Full-time Graduate Student Researchers (GSRs)
