NIH Campus Security Measures and Transportation Recommendations -- New

The National Institutes of Health, like all Federal Government facilities, has recently instituted new security measures to ensure the safety of NIH employees, patients, and visitors.

Getting On and Off Campus...
To avoid lengthy delays, we highly recommend that you use the Metrorail system to reach the NIH campus.

Metrorail
Take the Red line to the Medical Center station. As you exit the escalator or elevator, bear left and take the sidewalk toward Building 45. Building 45 is the large white (modern) building located directly across from the National Library of Medicine. Visitors will be asked to show a photo ID and state the purpose of their visit.

Metrobus
Public buses are no longer allowed to circulate on campus. Visitors arriving by bus will be dropped off at the NIH/Medical Center Metro stop at Rockville Pike and South Drive. Visitors will be asked to show a photo ID and state the purpose of their visit.

Driving
All visitor vehicles, including taxicabs, hotel and airport shuttles, delivery trucks and vans will be inspected before being allowed on campus. Be sure to allow extra time for this vehicle inspection procedure. Visitors will be asked to show a photo ID and state the purpose of their visit.

All visitors who drive must use one of the following entrances (see the Visitors Campus Access Map):

(For this program only) - attendees may use the employee entrance at Center Drive and Rockville Pike

Parking
Parking will be located in the Lot 41 or Lot 45T visitor parking areas. There will be no garage parking available for this event. Attendees who require special parking due to disabilities will be allowed to park in the Natcher upper level metered parking area upon completion of the appropriate inspection. Visitors must park in designated visitor parking lots.

Access to NIH Buildings
All visitors should be prepared to show a photo ID, log in and out at building entrances, wear a visitors pass or have an employee to escort them through the building. Visitors may be required to pass through a metal detector and have bags, backpacks or purses inspected or x-rayed as they enter buildings.

Security staff will be looking for and confiscating any suspicious or potentially dangerous materials. U.S. Code prohibits bringing any dangerous weapons onto Federal property, including anything with a blade longer than 2 ˝ inches. Meeting participants may want to leave extra bags or personal materials at their hotel to minimize the time needed for inspection.
