Local Arrangements / Getting to UCSD

For this workshop, attendees are expected to make their own hotel reservations and transportation arrangements from their hotels to the workshop. For CAIDA's list of local hotels including shuttle availability, see the updated Local Hotels list (PDF). Contact the hotel directly for hotel shuttle schedules (if available) to the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC).

This workshop is being held in the SDSC East Building's Synthesis Center / Visualization Lab, Room B143-E.
(For those GPS-enabled attendees, the GPS coordinates near the conference room is WGS84: 32°53'04.00"N, 117°14'22.00"W)

General driving directions to SDSC are located on the CAIDA Contact and Visitor Info page.

  • Shuttle to Hotels: SuperShuttle can be arranged to shuttle to UC San Diego campus or your hotel.
  • Car: Rental available at the airport near the baggage claim areas of Terminals 1 and 2.
  • Taxis and drop-off: San Diego Taxi Information maintains a list of taxis with rates and additional information. Uber and Lyft are also well established in San Diego and now have access to service San Diego's airport. GPSes will need to go to the intersection of Hopkins Drive and Voigt Lane.

    9836 Hopkins Drive , La Jolla, CA 92093 is the nearest street address most GPSes/maps recognize. This should take you to a small turn-in in front of the SDSC East Entrance / Auditorium, with a building sign visible that reads "Halicioğlu Data Science Center".

  • Parking on campus
    The most convenient parking is in the Hopkins parking structure at Hopkins Dr and Voigt Dr, just south of SDSC.

    From the Hopkins Structure, after setting your permit, take the elevators to the 2nd floor and walk safely out to Hopkins Dr. and the front of the Supercomputer Center. Walking past the Auditorium outside (and a sign reading "Halicioğlu Data Science Center"), go up the staircase to the entrance of the East building, and go through the double doors. Now inside the building, look under the staircase ahead to find Room B143-E, also labeled "Synthesis Center / Visualization Lab".

UCSD Maps and general UCSD Visitor Parking information is additionally available.
