Contacting PI and Directions - Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics

Exit 278 (Highway 8 West) and follow 8 West for 5 km to Highway #85, towards #7 East.
Proceed on Highway #85 for 5 km to Bridgeport Road exit. Turn right at the off-ramp, traveling West.
Follow Bridgeport Road for 2 km into downtown Waterloo.
Bridgeport is a four-lane one-way road. It becomes Caroline Street at Albert Street. Continue straight ahead.
Travel forward another 200 meters, but ease over into the right hand lane. As you go down a hill and around a curve, look for the green Perimeter Institute sign on the right hand side. The parking lot entrance is just after the sign (past the historic grist mill that sits on the edge of Silver Lake).
Turn right into the PI parking lot entrance.*

*If you are planning on driving to PI please refer to the Waterloo City website for information on parking while you are in town or refer to their brochure on parking lots.
