Directions for Seminar Speakers

We are located in Baxter Hall in the Caltech campus (my office is 314 Baxter, on the third floor, to the right of the stairs). Here is a printable map of the campus. The following ar instructions on how to get here.

By Shuttle/Cab:

To come directly here, ask your driver to bring you to Pasadena and to drop you off at the corner of California Blvd. and Wilson Ave. Follow the map to get to Baxter Hall, which is building number 77 on the map (you should be more of less in front of bulding 21).

By Car from LAX:

Exit the airport taking SEPULVEDA SOUTH, following signs toward the 105 East freeway.
Take *105 EAST* and travel on it until you cross freeway 110, where you have to take *110 NORTH* (the direction is Pasadena, so it shouldn't be hard).
Travel on 110 North all the way until the freeway ends (you will first pass downtown, then some tunnels, then a stretch of about 10 miles of fairly windy freeway).
At the *END of 105* there is a traffic light. Keep STRAIGHT until the second light. At the second light, take a *RIGHT turn* on California Blvd.
Travel about a couple of miles, passing several lights. One major intersection you will meet is Lake Avenue. After that keep straight but raise your alertness. At the following light take a *LEFT turn* on Wilson Ave. Caltech is now on your right-hand side.
Pass a stop sign and then proceed for about 200 yds. There will be some parking lots on your right-hand side. Look for parking there (anywhere goes, as long as there is no name written on the curb). You are now on campus, more or less at the corner of Wilson and Lura. Follow the map to get to Baxter Hall, which is building number 77 on the map.

If instead you have to go to the Athenaeum, it is building 61 on the map, at the corner of CALIFORNIA BLVD. and HILL AVE. So you have to follow the instructions given above almost till the end, and then rather than turning on Wilson proceed straight on California until you find the light at Hill, where you take a LEFT. The entrance to the driveway is about 50 mt. up on the left-hand side. Use the map to see how to walk from the Athenaeum to Baxter (building number 77): it's a five minute walk.

If these directions aren't enough, try looking at the Office of Admissions' directions. If you like to have some more maps, look at the Office of Admissions' maps.
