Directions
Take the University Avenue exit from highway 80.
Head east (toward campus / hills) on University; where it ends at the campus, turn right.
Get into the left lane and turn left on Durant Ave, which is one-way, eastbound.
The Berkeley City Club is 1.5 blocks east, on your left.
Public Transit
Downtown Berkeley BART is about 6 (rather long) blocks from the BCC. The #1 or #51 bus, from the BART station, will go up Durant right past the BCC – get off at Dana. If you’re a die-hard public transit-er and want to stay past 11:30 pm, check actransit.org for late bus info.
Parking
There is a parking garage on Durant just before you reach the City Club, and several others nearby. UC garages are also available to the public. Bring about $15 in cash for parking.
Dining
There will be only light refreshments at the Ball, so it’s wise to prepare with an early dinner. The Berkeley City Club is offering a special prix fixe dinner ($25, excluding wine) in their lovely dining room. Reservations are essential! (The 6:30 seating is full, but they will do their best to accommodate our guests with other convenient times.)
For dinner at the Berkeley City Club, call for reservations: 510.848.7800

ABOUT ADSC:
The ACSC is a non-profit organization that endeavors to increase public awareness of Art Deco and to preserve and promote the art, music, fashion, architecture and transportation of the era (roughly 1919-1941). The Art Deco Preservation Ball is held each Spring to recognize those who have preserved, or are in the process of preserving or restoring, Art Deco in areas including architecture, music and fashion. Past awardees include the Fox Theater in Oakland, the Hoover Tower at Stanford University, Palo Alto, and the Queen Mary in Long Beach.
