Move to White Flint

Metro Rail
Metro is the most convenient form of transportation to our 11601 Landsdown Street NIHTC location. The White Flint stop is only two stops from the NIH main campus on the Red Line.  

Shuttle
There are shuttle services from the NIH campus to White Flint via Fishers Lane, Executive Boulevard, and Montrose Road.

Parking

There is no parking for students or instructors at the White Flint building. Please do not park under the building.

The White Flint Metro garage is located behind the building. Parking is $8.70 per day with a SmarTrip card or credit card. If you need to park directly at the Metro, please arrange for a SmarTrip card through your IC or administrative office in advance of your visit.

There is a free satellite Woodglen parking lot 0.2 miles from the building, which is a 8-10 minute walk. The NIH parking entrance is on Nicholson Lane. Do NOT park at the Atlantic Parking lot which costs $6.00. The Woodglen parking lot is around the corner on Nicholson Lane. All cars with NIH hang tags are permitted to park in the Woodglen parking lot. If you do not have an NIH hang tag, request a daily permit by contacting the Training Center via an email to NIHTrainingCenter@nih.gov.
