Directions and Parking Options for UC Irvine Department of Education

The department mailing address of 3200 Education, Irvine, CA. 92697-5500 is a campus address, not a street address. Online mapping services do not do well with it.

Try using 121 E Peltason Dr, Irvine, CA 92697 with online map and directions services such as Google Maps and MapQuest. Berkeley Pl, Irvine, CA. 92612 works better for some map sites.

Either address will get you within site of the Education building, which is on the southwest corner of Campus Dr. and E Peltason Dr. On the Campus Map (pdf) the Berkeley Place building is number 4 in grid C7.

Once at the Education building, proceed to the stairs between the north and south wings of the building, go to the third floor, and enter the north wing. Go through the double glass doors and to the end of the hallway to Rm. 3200. The receptionist can guide you from there.

1. Park in the Social Science Parking Structure (SSPS)

SSPS is located approximately 100 meters west of the Department of Education. It may be accessed from Stanford Avenue, Campus Drive, or Pereira Drive. If a parking pass has been reserved for you there, the SSPS attendant in the booth at the Stanford (west) entrance will have your permit. If there is no SSPS attendant, your permit will be with the attendant at the Student Center Parking Structure (PS4) at the corner of Pereira Drive and West Peltason Drive. If a parking permit has not been reserved for you, you can purchase a daily parking permit from an attendant or from a parking dispenser. Permit information is available at: http://www.parking.uci.edu/permits/visitorpermits.cfm.

2. Drop someone off

Visitors to the Department of Education can be dropped off at two convenient locations. One drop-off point is by the parking kiosk on East Peltason Dr., by the stairs to the Education building. The other location is in the parking lot off Pereira Drive. Turn into the parking lot, turn immediately right and drop off as close to the north wing of the building as you can get.
