All visitors will need to present a picture ID
and pick-up a visitor's pass
at the desk just inside the main
entrance. There are visitor parking spaces in the easternmost row of the
parking lot adjacent to the Skaggs building. Note the time limits on
visitor spaces -- notify the security guard if you need to exceed those
limits. As of this writing, parking passes are not
required during working hours for the large lot to the west of the DSRC.
To get to CDC, take a right turn after you walk through the front door and head south to Block D. (See the building illustration.) Continue all the way to the south end of the building. At the last hallway perpendicular to the one you're traveling, take a left-hand turn. The next two offices on your right house our administrative staff.
To get to the main conference room (Multi-purpose room, GC402), walk straight east through the lobby towards the windows opposite the door through which you entered. There is a set of stairs to your left, before you reach the east wall of the lobby. Go down to the next level and make a right at the base of the stairs. The door at the rear of the conference room is immediately right of the elevators. To reach the front door to the conference room, make a U-turn at the base of the stairs and head towards the glass doors leading to the bike room. Take a left just before you reach those glass doors and follow the hallway. The door to the conference room is a few doors down the hall on the left hand side.

Follow the sidewalk to the west side of the building and walk straight about 150 yards with the building on the left and a high wall and parking lot on the right. Enter at the main entrance (marked by the flagpoles).
