Direction to the San Jose IBM PC Club Meetings

The San Jose IBM PC Club monthly meetings are held at  the IBM Silicon Valley Lab, 555 Bailey Avenue, San Jose, CA in Cafeteria Room K222 at 5 PM on the second Tuesday of each month.

When you drive to the IBM Silicon Valley Lab, turn right (north) at the first (east) entrance and stop at the security gate.  Note that tailgating through the security gate is not permitted and is a security violation.   Use your IBM employee badge to raise the gate, or if you are an IBM Retiree, call security on their phone, identify yourself as an IBM PC Club member, and proceed when the gate is raised.  Due to our lack of access to the lobby, please drive toward the rear of the building complex for about .4 miles, take the next left after the sign,  RECEIVING SERVICES, and park near the loading dock that is recessed and contains emergency vehicles.

Walk to the door to the right of the loading dock.  Use your IBM employee badge to open the door, or if you are an IBM retiree, call security with the phone on the wall to have the door opened if necessary.  Proceed straight ahead until you reach the security operations center.  Sign in as a guest attending the PC Club meeting.  You will receive a guest sticker badge.  Then proceed down the hall to the first left after the security area and take the stairs or elevator to the second floor, and follow the signs to Cafeteria Room K222.
