The "GenBank: Celebrating 25 Years of Service" event will be held April 7-8, 2008, at the Natcher Conference Center (Building 45) on the National Institutes of Health (NIH) campus in Bethesda, MD.
Due to increased security on the NIH campus, you will be stopped at the entrance to the NIH campus on South Drive. At this time, you will be asked to present your driver's license or photo identification and the purpose of your visit. Please allocate sufficient time for passage through security and onto the NIH campus. As with all federal government installations, security measures have been put in place for the protection of both NIH staff and visitors. For more information, please refer to the NIH Visitors and Security page on the main NIH Web site [www.nih.gov].
NIH has limited visitor parking and there is a three-hour limit on these parking spaces. Ticketing is enforced and irreversible.
If you drive, take the Wisconsin Avenue exit from the Capital Beltway (Rte 495) and go 1.5 miles south on Wisconsin Avenue toward Bethesda to the 4th traffic light at South Drive. Turn right onto South Drive.
After your car is inspected, you will receive a visitor pass. Continue down South Drive to the intersection with Center Drive. Turn left and then make the third left into the visitor parking lot. This turn is immediately after the turn into the plaza in front of the William H. Natcher Building (Building 45) and just before a large intersection and traffic light.
An alternative to parking at NIH is to drive to Bethesda and park in a public lot in Bethesda. From Bethesda you can either take the Metro (stop is located at East West Highway and Wisconsin Ave.) to the Medical Center Stop or walk up Wisconsin Avenue to Center Drive (about a 10-15 minute walk).
You may also drive and park at other Metro Stops on the Red Line that have public parking and take the Metro to the Medical Center station. Convenient stops include Rockville, White Flint and Grosvenor. NIH is Metro accessible and the Natcher Conference Center is a 5-minute walk from the Medical Center station on the Red Line. The Natcher Building is located on Center Drive directly behind the Medical Center Stop.
