Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory is located off Vasco Road,
near Interstate-580, in Livermore, California, about 48 miles east of San
Francisco.
It is an easy drive from anywhere in the Bay Area, and convenient to
San Francisco International, San Jose, and Oakland Airports.
The Lab is one square mile in size, with a workforce of more than
7,800 people.
Because much of LLNL’s mission involves national security,
entry is strictly regulated. Visitors must make prior arrangements and
pick up a badge at the Westgate
Badge Office in order to gain admittance to the Laboratory. Visitors
and the news media should be aware of LLNL’s policies
on photography and its rules for bringing restricted
and controlled items onto the site.
The public is invited to tour the Discovery
Center, located
just outside the Laboratory’s gates off Greenville Road; pre-arranged tours
of the Laboratory are also available on Tuesday mornings.
Call (925) 422-4599 for more
