- Metro’s website is www.wmata.com. Riders should take the Red Line (towards Shady Grove or Grosvenor) to Bethesda station. Once on the street level, taxis are available in front of the Hyatt hotel. We are not concerned with the cost savings of metro-riding, please only take the metro if you enjoy exploring public transportation.
Arriving at HHMI
- There are two entrances to HHMI Headquarters, one on Platt Ridge Drive (a small side street off of Jones Bridge Rd) and another on Manor Road (see attached map, a square has been placed by the entrances and an X indicates the Conference Center).
- Please note that different navigation apps will direct you to different entrances. Either entrance will work and at both entrances you will arrive at a gate. If the gate is closed, press the assistance button and state that you are here for the Deep Teaching Workshop and they will open the gate.
- Free parking is available.
- Please check-in the Conference Center registration desk upon arrival at HHMI. Campus Assistants will help you with room check-in.
Departure from HHMI
