Directions

Getting to campus

By Metro

Georgetown is not directly serviced by Metro, but the University operates a shuttle bus service to and from the Rosslyn and Dupont Circle Metro stations.

By City Bus

The D3 and D6 city bus routes (timetables) include a stop on Reservoir Road, immediately outside Medical Center Entrance #1 (see map).

By Taxi

Most taxi drivers should be able to locate Georgetown University Hospital without need for directions. If necessary, the closest cross-street is Reservoir Road and 38th Street, NW. Ask to be let out at Entrance #3 (see map).

By Car

Detailed driving directions and maps are available. Paid hourly parking is available in the Leavey Center Parking Garage and the Hospital Visitor Parking Lot (see map).

Finding the Lab

We are located on the West Podium level of the New Research Building within the Georgetown University Medical Center. The building has two entrances, one on the Ground level and another on the Podium (second floor) Level.
