APARRI 2023 General Information
The closest airports are Oakland International Airport (14 miles away) and San Francisco International Airport (25 miles away). Both airports are publicly accessible to UC Berkeley by BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit). The closest BART station is Downtown Berkeley, which is a 19-minute walk to the Faculty Club (the main conference meeting space) and a 23-minute walk to Unit 2 dorms.
If you would like to coordinate a ride to or from the airport with another conference participant, please add your name to this list and arrange your own rides. Please note that this list is public.
Conference participants may choose to stay in the Unit 2 Towle Mini-Suites at 2650 Haste Street or the Bancroft Hotel at 2680 Bancroft Way. Details and registration information are here.
Participants staying in Unit 2 may check in at the Unit 2 Front Desk starting at 12 pm until 11 pm on June 20. Information for check in after 11 pm is available on the door of the front desk. Check-out is 11 am on June 23. In addition to bedding, Unit 2 guests will be provided with two towels, a face cloth, and a bar of soap. For more information on Unit #2, please see here.
Guests at the Bancroft Hotel may check-in starting at 3 pm on June 20. Breakfast is included at the Bancroft Hotel.
Unit 2 Guests:

Bancroft Hotel Guests:
Overnight parking for Bancroft Hotel guests is $15/day based on a first come, first serve basis. Please notify the Bancroft Hotel ahead of time if you plan to park.
Daily parking is available at the Telegraph Channing Lot at 2450 Durant Avenue and the Stadium Parking Structure at 2175 Gayley Road (same as 2175 Piedmont Avenue). For closer access, we recommend parking at the Telegraph Channing Lot for the June 20 event, and the Stadium Parking Structure for June 21 and 22.
Berkeley summer’s can be foggy, cool, and damp, especially in the late afternoon and evening. Please bring appropriate clothing. Our evening dinner reception on June 20 will be outside. Feel free to dress casually or as you would at an academic conference. Please also bring footwear suitable for walking (should you choose any of the optional excursions involving lots of walking).
UC Berkeley is located in an urban environment. For your safety, we recommend walking in groups at night.
The closest hospital is Alta Bates at 2001 Dwight Way. The Alta Bates Hospital phone number is 510-204-4444.
Meeting participants are not required to show proof of vaccination or wear a mask to participate in the conference or to access any of the buildings at UC Berkeley. We do, however, encourage participants to maintain risk mitigation strategies in the interests of public health.
As noted in the registration notes, all meals are covered save dinner on Wednesday, June 21. Participants electing to do the food tour excursion should budget approximately $25.
Meeting participants have two options for lodging during the APARRI meeting: UC Berkeley dorm housing or the Bancroft Hotel. Please reserve early, as space is limited. You must register for housing as a separate step from registering for the conference.
UC Berkeley Dorm Housing: We encourage all out-of-town APARRI participants to stay at the Towle Mini-Suites, which is a 10-minute walk (for most guests) to our meeting location at the Faculty Club. Each mini-suite consists of two spacious bedrooms, either two double-occupancy rooms or one double- and one single-occupancy room, plus its own bathroom with shower. Each mini-suite is single gender. Towle was recently renovated and features contemporary architecture with polished concrete, glass, and abundant natural light. Single rooms are $XX/night and double-occupancy rooms are $XX/night. APARRI participants who select dorm housing must commit to lodging for all three nights (check-in: June 20, checkout: June 23).
The deadline for dorm housing is May 15, 2023.
Bancroft Hotel: The Bancroft Hotel is a 5-minute walk away (for most guests) from the Faculty Club. We’ve reserved a limited number of rooms from June 20-23 at a special rate of $149 plus tax/night. Room rates include breakfast at the hotel. Guests who select this option should make their own arrangements with the Bancroft Hotel directly and type in the code “APARRI/BCSR” for the special rate.
Thanks to the generous support of the Henry Luce Foundation and UC Berkeley, APARRI will be offering a limited number of scholarships for 3 nights lodging in a shared dorm room, double-occupancy, and domestic plane travel, with priority given to graduate students who present at the conference. We anticipate being able to fund more than students, though encourage anyone with institutional support to access those resources first.
