Arriving by Metro

The NIH campus is very accessible via Metro.  Take the Red Line towards Shady Grove to the Medical Center station.  The station’s escalators come out on the NIH campus. 

You’ll then need to get a visitor badge from the NIH Visitor Gateway Center , which will be facing you as you come up the Metro escalator. You will be required to show one form of identification (a government-issued photo ID-driver's license, passport, green card, etc.) and to state the purpose of your visit.

On exit from the Gateway Center, you will head up a path which leads right to NLM - bear left up the hill, walking past the Natcher Building (45) on your right before crossing the street to NLM.  The meeting is in the Lindberg Room, on the 2nd Floor of the main library, which is the smaller building (38) in front of the taller building (38A). Walk left past the row of parked cars, then bear right, up to the main entrance, which faces Rockville Pike. Take the stairs or elevator, on the right, up one floor.  See the NIH Campus Map.
