General Information

Direction

The meeting facilities on the UCLA campus are easily accessible from the 405 freeway. Take the Sunset Boulevard exit and turn right on Bellagio Drive. At the first stop sign – a T intersection – turn left and follow De Neve Drive down a slight grade. You will come to a second stop sign. Go straight through that intersection. Before you come to a third stop sign, you will see the Sunset Village parking structure on your right. The entrance is clearly marked with a large SV and the name Sunset Village.

Parking

Park in the Sunset Village parking structure. Take the elevators in the southwest corner (the farther one) of the structure to the lobby level, and follow the signs to the Northwest Campus Auditorium. Parking is $8.00 single entry
