NIHTC Rockledge Facility Relocation
We’re On the Move!
The NIH Training Center (NIHTC) is moving the Rockledge facility to Three White Flint North in Rockville. We’re excited about our new home, which is adjacent to the White Flint Metro Station! Having our facility in a well-connected area of Rockville means you can enjoy a top-quality training class and a wide range of walkable lunch options. Our newly designed training space will also feature the latest in audio-visual technology to enhance your learning experience -- whether you are an on-site or remote learner. You’ll be able to reach us by shuttle, metro, and car. Note - the NIHTC second location on campus in Natcher (Building 45) remains unchanged.
Once construction accelerates on the new NIHTC at White Flint, we’ll share more updates here. We will offer FAQs based on what YOU, our customers, would like to know. If you have any questions, please submit them to: NIHTrainingCenter@nih.gov. Rest assured if you are taking a class with us around this transition, you’ll receive ample guidance on where to go and how to get there -- as usual.

Know Before You Go
Metro Rail - Metro is the most convenient form of transportation to our 3 White Flint North NIHTC location. The White Flint stop is only two stops from the NIH main campus on the Red Line.
Shuttle - Coming Soon...
Driving - The White Flint Metro station parking garage is the closest to us. You must have a Smart Trip card to exit the garage, so we will advise registered students to request a Smart Trip card from their office before attending our classes. The fee for non-rider parking is $8.70 per day. Another option for parking is across the street at the Bethesda North Marriott, 5701 Marinelli Road, Rockville, MD. The fee for parking in their lot is $5 an hour, up to $30 maximum per day.

FAQs

Yes, however you will have to go through the building security which involves a bag check and metal detector. This can take several minutes longer than using the NIH Badge holders gate at entry.
