Access
Here is the Stanford searchable map https://campus-map.stanford.edu/
Parking on
Sundays is free. Visitors can park in any visitor parking spot.
It is most
convenient to use the Via Ortega
Garage, the first floor is designated for visitors.
Via Ortega
Garage is located at 285 Panama Street, Stanford. It is a 2min walk to the
Allen X building.
For
those arriving with Uber/Lyft, set the destination to 330 Jane Stanford Drive,
Paul G. Allen Center for Integrated Systems Annex (Allen X),
and getting
off on Campus Drive. When coming from San Francisco, you can take the Caltrain
to Palo Alto and then an Uber/Lyft.
For those arriving with Uber/Lyft, I recommend setting the destination to 330 Jane Stanford Drive, Paul G. Allen Center for Integrated Systems Annex (Allen X), and getting off on Campus Drive.
