Directions to EPL

From the Beltway (I-495), merge onto MD-185/Connecticut Ave. via Exit 33, to Connecticut Avenue southbound (toward Chevy Chase). Drive 2.7 miles to Chevy Chase Circle. Continue around the circle southward on Connecticut for 0.5 miles to Military Road (fourth stoplight).

At Military Road, turn left, heading east for 0.5 miles to 32nd St. (third stoplight). Turn right (south) on 32nd St. for one block to the Carnegie Institution of Washington. Turn left at the driveway hill; park at the top.

From K St., head northwest on Connecticut Ave., approximately 5 miles. Turn right on 36th St., just before reaching Nebraska Ave. At the bottom of the hill, turn right onto Nevada Ave. Nevada Ave. becomes Broad Branch Road at the intersection of Nevada Ave., Jocelyn St., 32nd St., and Linnean Ave.

Turn left onto 32nd St. at this 5-way-stop intersection. Drive a few feet and turn right into the campus' main driveway. Park in front of the Abelson Building.

Additional parking can be found in the lot on the other side of the campus, just off Jocelyn St. Parking is also permitted throughout the residential neighborhood on Jocelyn St. or 32nd St.

All three Washington area airports are reasonable choices for travel to EPL by taxi or SuperShuttle.

Reagan National Airport (DCA) is approximately nine miles and 30 minutes from EPL; Dulles International Airport (IAD) is approximately 25 miles and 40 minutes; and Baltimore-Washington International (BWI) is approximately 36 miles and 50 minutes away.

Travel times are heavily dependent on traffic conditions. DCA is the only airport directly serviced by the Metro (Yellow and Blue Lines).

The Broad Branch Road campus is approximately 1.5 miles from three Metro stations on the Red Line: Van Ness-UDC (at the intersection of Connecticut Ave. and Van Ness), Tenleytown-AU (at the intersection of Wisconsin Ave. and Albemarle), and Friendship Heights (at the intersection of Wisconsin Ave. and Western Ave.).

Because of the distance from the metro, commuters from these stations tend to either walk, take a bus, or rent a scooter/bike. Some even choose to catch an Uber for the final mile of the trip.

Because of the distance from a metro station, many visitors prefer to use buses to access our campus. Here are a few key routes.

D70 / Connecticut Ave / 10-minute walk
The D70 operates between the Chevy Chase Loop and Farragut Square. To get to campus, head north on D70 until you reach the intersection of Connecticut NW & Nebraska NW—near the Politics and Prose and Comet Ping Pong. Disembark and walk south to 36th St., where you will proceed down the hill. Turn right onto Nevada Ave. and left onto 32nd Street. Turn right at the Earth & Planets Laboratory sign and driveway. (Note: 36th St does not have a sidewalk. If you would prefer to walk on a sidewalk, you can take a right on Nebraska and walk until you hit Nevada.)
____

C81 / Military Rd / 5-minute walk

The C81 operates crosstown between Fort Totten Station and Sibley Memorial Hospital. Coming from either East (Fort Totten) or West (Tenleytown), take the C81 bus and get off at the Military Rd. & 32nd St stop. Walk south down 32nd St. until you get to Jocelyn Rd., which marks the northern boundary of our campus. (Note: You can also take C81 to the Rock Creek Park Nature Center.)
