NOTICE: There are new
security measures in place on the NIH campus.
Parking Information
| Visitor Parking is extremely difficult to find at NIH, so
if at all possible, take public transportation. There is a Metro station
on the NIH campus with shuttle bus service to the main buildings.
Short-term, metered parking and long term, attendant-controlled parking
are available to visitors at a cost of $2 per hour for the first three
hours or $12 per day. There is free, validated parking for patients
and visitors to patients in the Clinical Center. |
Taking the Metrorail
| Metrorail service is available from Washington’s National Airport
and from Union Station (railway). Take Metro’s Red Line to the Medical
Center Station. The station’s escalators come out on the NIH campus.
To get to Building 10, walk from the top of the escalators past the
bus stops down South Drive. Cross the street and veer right onto Center
Drive (past the Anchor). Remain on Center Drive as it veers left and
uphill. The NIH Clinical Center (Building 10) is at the top of the
hill on the left side of Center Drive. OR — just take the NIH campus
shuttle bus which provides service to Building 10 and stops at the
Metro station every 15 to 20 minutes. |
