The Center is the only academic research facility situated on San Francisco Bay, the largest estuary on the west coast of the United States. As an affiliate of San Francisco State University, the Center provides its students with graduate and undergraduate level courses as well as practical experience gained through research conducted in the laboratories of RTC scientists.

The Bay Conference Center is approximately 1/2 mile past Paradise Beach Park. Turn left at the beautiful new gates and you're there. Please note: Parking Spaces -- 40 in the parking lot. The overflow lot is located on the site and is accessed through the next gate at 3150 Paradise Drive.
