  • The station is between 40th Street and MacArthur Blvd near Telegraph Ave. in Oakland.
  • As you exit the turnstyle you will be facing East (towards the hills, away from the Bay) and will see a parking lot.

  • Turn left on MacArthur (heading East) about 6 stoplights. Along the way you'll pass Telegraph Ave., Mosswood Park, Broadway and Piedmont Ave. The next stoplight is Fairmount.
  • Make a right on Fairmount, go 1 block, and make a left on Santa Clara
  • Ave. The building is the only one on your right, #55 Santa Clara Ave.
  • We recommend that you ask for a ride from your classmates after your class to avoid returning to BART alone in the dark.

  • If you are attending an evening event at the BayNVC office, we invite you to ask the other participants at the event for a ride back to the MacArthur BART Station rather than catch the bus after dark.
