Directions to the Academy:

The Academy is located in Washington, D.C. on the 6th floor of the IBEW building at 900 7th Street, N.W. The building occupies the corner of 7th and I Street N.W.

Metro

• The Academy’s headquarters is located one block north of the Gallery Place/Chinatown Metro Station, accessible via the Red, Yellow and Green lines. 

• Take the 7th and H Street exit and proceed north. 

• The Academy’s headquarters, in a large glass building, will be on the left hand side at the corner of 7th and I Street.

Parking

• There is a paid parking garage underneath the building.  There are two entrances:  one on I (Eye) Street and one on 7th Street.  Both entrances identify the garage as “Park Tech.”

• Wind down the entrance and take a ticket at the cashier booth.

• Turn left and proceed to Level 2, 3 or 4.  Level 1 is reserved parking.  Please note that the later in the day, the less likely to find a space near the closest elevator.

• At Levels 2, 3 or 4, proceed straight and follow Purple signs to 900 7th Street.  You want to park in the Purple section near the elevators.

• There are two elevator “rooms”.  One has a bank of six elevators which only are accessible with an electronic key.  Do not use these elevators.  Use the adjacent elevator room that has a single elevator.  There is a sign that indicates the elevator will take you to 900 7th Street.

• Take this elevator to street level.  Upon exiting, you will be on 7th Street.

• Turn right on the sidewalk.  Enter the building at the corner of 7th and I (Eye) Streets.

• Tell the security desk that you are attending a meeting at NAPA.  Specify the meeting.  If you are arriving unexpectedly, the desk will request identification and issue you a badge.  Security will escort you to the elevator. 

Take the elevator to the sixth floor.
