Directions
San Francisco, Peninsula
Take US-101 South. Follow US-101 South to the Bernal Road exit.
Turn right at the end of the ramp and go about 4 miles on Bernal Road (through
the county park - see details below) to the ARC gate.
Oakland, East Bay
Take I-880 South to San Jose. In San Jose, continue on I-880 South to US-101
South. Follow US-101 South to the Bernal Road exit. Turn right at the
end of the ramp and proceed on Bernal Road about 4 miles (through the county
park - see details below) to the ARC gate.
Detailed Guide for Bernal Road:
The first two miles of Bernal Road are straight and flat, running through
suburban housing and commercial areas. Then, after passing the Santa Teresa
Golf Course on your left, the road narrows to two lanes and winds up, over a
large hill. IBM Research - Almaden is located atop the hill at the end of this
road. Keep going straight. You will eventually see a small IBM sign and then
the entry gate.
At the entry gate, press the button to announce that you are here for the SHPE
tour.
At the stop sign continue straight ahead. Park to the left in a visitor's space
in the first parking lot you come to, then walk across the entry circle into
the lobby and sign in with the receptionist.
If you need any
more additional information regarding the Region 1 IBM tour please feel free to
contact your local chapter or myself directly to this email.
