Take the Red Line to the Medical Center Station. When you arrive, the escalators will take you directly to NIH campus.

• Exit the metro. At the top of the escalators you will see the NIH Visitor /Gateway Center.
• Go to the left up the stairs.
• Walk through a turnstile. You will need your NIH ID.
• Follow the sidewalk. There will be a sign pointing towards Natcher.

After about 30-40 yards, you will see the building on your left. The building is characterized by a wide sweeping curvature of glass windows.

Our classrooms are located on the first floor adjacent to the cafeteria. To enter, walk through the main eating area to the far end and look for our entrance on the left. Signs will be posted for assistance.

If you enter through the side door, you must walk past the conference center first. It’s a curved walkway.

If you’re traveling from outside campus, you can ride one of NIH shuttle services. It will drop you off at the metro stop (usually the first stop once inside campus). You can catch a campus shuttle from there or walk to Natcher.

If you drive to campus, the Natcher Conference Center has its own underground parking garage. To park here, you must have an NIH Parking Permit. There is additional surface parking adjacent to the building.

If you are a remote worker who is required to come to the NIH campus, you can apply online for a temporary remote parking permit. Each remote worker will be limited to five temporary daily parking permits per month (as long as any parking hangers assigned to them are returned.) For remote workers who have questions, review the FAQs on the Parking FAQ page.

If you wish to park on campus and do not have parking permit, then you can obtain a temporary parking permit through the NIH Division of Amenities and Transportation Services.
