Our Locations, Building Access and Security
Wondering where our classes take place? The NIHTC has two locations:
Rockledge: NIH identification is required to enter Rockledge One. Employees of other Federal agencies are required to enter through the lobby and sign in at the security desk located in the lobby.
Natcher: The main parking in the Natcher Conference center is located in a parking garage under the building and requires an NIH Parking Permit. There is an additional security checkpoint required for parking under the building. We recommend that you allow an additional 15 minutes of your travel time to ensure arrival before the start of your class.
