Driving directions and Metro information can be found at the NDU website.
Map
Map is oriented with North to the left side of the image. Visitors must enter via the "Visitor Gate Entrance" on 2nd Street Southwest (described as "Main Gate/Visitors Gate" at the link above). Attendees may park in Lot A, B, C, or D, or in public street parking along 4th Avenue SW. Lots A and B are most convenient to the event, which will be held in Lincoln Hall.
Note: Due to recent return-to-work requirements and the addition of the event attendees, parking will be at a premium, and we expect it to fill up early in the day. We highly recommend that attendees take advantage of carpooling, Metro, or cab/rideshare where possible. The nearest Metro stops, Waterfront and Navy Yard (both on the Green Line), are about one mile away; cab/rideshare drivers may drop attendees off at the visitor gate, which is a short walk from Lincoln Hall.
Please be cautious when walking after dark. The neighborhood can be dangerous at certain hours, so we recommend walking in groups.
