Map: Local area

From the east: Take route 50 West to New York Avenue, then exit onto South Dakota Avenue. At the 7th Street traffic light, turn left onto Monroe Street. Follow Monroe until it dead ends. Go left on Michigan Avenue. Follow right lanes onto Irving Street. Get in left lane and make first left. VAMC is located to the left.

From Baltimore and northern areas: Take I-95 South. Veer right onto I-495 toward Silver Spring. Leave I-495 almost immediately at New Hampshire Avenue, exit Route 650 South. Go south for approximately 4 miles on New Hampshire Avenue, then go south on North Capitol Street for approximately 2 miles. Exit right onto Irving Street. Follow signs to VAMC. Get in left lane immediately and make first left. VAMC is located to the left.

From the west: Go south on route 270, then go east on I-495 (go left at fork marked "Washington"), to the Connecticut Avenue exit, southbound Route 185. Proceed south on Connecticut Avenue for about 3 miles. Turn left onto Military Road for approximately 3.5 miles. Turn right at light onto North Capitol street. Go approximately 1.5 miles, then exit right onto Irving Street. Follow signs to VAMC. Get into left lane immediately, then make first left. VAMC is located to the left.

From Virginia and southern areas: Take I-95, Virginia Route 1, or Virginia Route 50, to the 14th Street bridge. Continue north on 14th Street until you reach Harvard Street, where you will turn right. Harvard ends at a light (approximately 2.5 miles). At light, turn left onto Irving Street. Stay in middle lane. At third light turn right. VAMC is located on the left.

Parking: Park in any visitors space. There are plenty--the ones on the right as you come in, opposite the Emergency Room entrance, are ideal as that is the only entrance open after 8 pm. You can park on the circular drive past the main entrance or in the large lots beyond the main entrance.

Taking Metro: Take the Red Line to the Catholic University/Brookland Metro Station. Metro Buses H2 and H4 will bring you to the Veterans Affairs Medical Center. The Washington Hospital Center bus departs the Brookland Metro for the National Rehabilitation Hospital/Washington Hospital Center every 20 minutes from 5:40 pm through 7:00 pm. If you arrive before the meeting is to start, page SIG Chair David Kiasi at 516-3764 (or enter 4043), and someone will come to the Metro Station to meet you. It will take at least 10 minutes to get there (including 5 minutes to simply exit the building).

Building entry: Enter via the Emergency Room entrance. You will need to show an armed guard a photo ID, e.g., driver's license. Continue in the direction you entered until you come to a large "room"; then look to your right and back the way you came--there are three elevators there.

Fourth floor: Go to the fourth floor, make an immediate right, and continue to the dead end. Turn left and proceed past the slight jog and past the windows on the right. We should be meeting in the first room on the right after the windows, 4C106a. If you get lost, ask anyone where the IRM Training Room is located.
