Driving Directions
- From the airport, follow signs for Highway 427 South/Highway 401.
- Continue to follow signs for Highway 401 West - London.
- Proceed West on Highway 401.
- Exit Highway 401 at Highway 8 West.
- Take exit 278 (Highway 8 West) and follow 8 West for 5 km to Highway 85, towards Highway 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 metres, 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 arrive 20 minutes early
to allow time for you to obtain a short-term parking pass from reception
and to park your car in the appropriate lot. This short-term pass will
allow you to park for the duration of the conference at the Bauer
Parking lot on Father David Bauer Drive across the street from the
Waterloo Recreation Complex.
