Directions, maps, parking
CMU-SV is a closed campus. Only employees and students are allowed entry. Visitors may come to campus by invitation.
Location information
The Silicon Valley campus is located in the NASA Ames Research Park (NRP) in Moffett Field, CA, just off of US-101 in Mountain View. The GPS address for Carnegie Mellon’s campus at the NRP is: CMU Silicon Valley, NASA Research Park, Building 23, Moffett Field, CA 94035.
There are two entry gates to access the NRP. The Main Gate on Moffett Blvd. is open 24 hours a day. The Ellis Gate on Ellis st. is open from 6:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. Ellis Gate is closed on Federal Holidays.
Important information about accessing the campus
Based on information provided by NASA Office of Protective Services personnel, Carnegie Mellon’s understanding of the current entrance requirements to the NASA Research Park (and, therefore, the campus) is as follows:
NASA Office of Protective Services currently requires each individual desiring to enter the NASA Research Park (and, therefore, the campus) to produce the following documentation as a condition to entry:
- If the individual is driving, the individual MUST produce a valid, US state-issued driver license (this includes rideshare and delivery drivers). If the individual driving is also a CMU-SV student, the student MUST produce a valid, US state-issued driver license and the student’s CMU ID.
- If the individual is passenger in a car or bus, or entering on a bike or walking, the individual MUST produce:
- a valid U.S. Federal or state-issued government ID, such as a U.S. state-issued driver license or U.S. state-issued identification card (Important note: A CMU ID is not a government ID), OR
- a valid passport (a photocopy of the passport is fine) with current visa, OR
- if the individual is a CMU-SV student, after that student’s name has been added to the NASA database by the NASA Office of Protective Services (see information below), a CMU ID.
Important Information about Foreign Nationals Accessing the Campus: If an individual produces a passport and visa as documentation to enter the NASA Research Park, the individual will likely be stopped by the NASA Office of Protective Services personnel and required to satisfactorily answer their questions in order to gain entry. NASA has advised Carnegie Mellon that the NASA Office of Protective Services currently performs a minimum-level national agency screening check (which is a basic criminal check against the U.S. Federal databases) on foreign nationals and other individuals desiring to enter the NASA Research Park (and therefore, the campus). NASA has also advised that North Korea, Sudan, Syria, and Iran are currently designated as countries of concern to NASA. Therefore, it is also Carnegie Mellon’s understanding that individuals from North Korea, Sudan, Syria, and Iran are currently prohibited by the NASA Office of Protective Services from accessing NASA Research Park (including the campus).
Visitors in Groups: CMU-SV is a closed campus. Only invited visitors who have a specific business purpose are permitted to visit.
Groups or events in which large numbers of foreign nationals are in attendance are given the option to have their passports and visas reviewed by NASA in advance of their trip. This process may expedite the gate entry process upon their arrival. Groups who choose not to opt for this should be informed that it is advisable to anticipate delays at the gate due to the possibility of undergoing additional screening questions.
Should a group or individual choose to submit documents ahead of their visit, contact the associate facilities manager.
The above information was prepared based on Carnegie Mellon’s current understanding of NASA’s current entry requirements and is therefore subject to change.
Parking
Parking is available in CMU-SV’s parking lot behind Building 23. No permits or fees required.
