Directions from Maryland (East of D.C.)

From Route 50:
Take Route 50 west (New York Avenue) into Washington, D.C. A little over half a mile over the District Line, make a right onto South Dakota Avenue (it’s a major intersection, with a light). Continue on S.D. until it ends at Riggs Road and turn left onto Riggs. At North Capitol Street, Riggs becomes Missouri Avenue (stay on it). At Georgia Avenue, Missouri Avenue doesn’t quite meet itself, so you’ll be making a right and then an immediate left to continue on Missouri (this is easier if you stay in the left lane). At 16th Street, Missouri Avenue becomes Military Road (stay on it). Stay in the left lane. After about one-and-a-half miles, the left lane must turn left onto Nebraska Avenue; turn left onto Nebraska Avenue (there’s a left-turn arrow). At the second light on Nebraska, turn left (south) onto Connecticut Avenue (again, there’s a left-turn arrow). After passing the light at Davenport Street, make your next left (no light) onto Chesapeake Street. CMC is three blocks in, on your right, past the ballfield. Go just past CMC to turn into the parking lot, which runs around the building in a clockwise direction. You may also park on the street, if the lot is full.

From Route 214:
Take Route 214 west (Central Avenue) into Washington, D.C. At the District Line, 214 becomes East Capitol Street. Continue west to Lincoln Park and follow signs to turn onto Massachusetts Avenue. Continue north on Mass. Ave. around Stanton Square, past Union Station, and around Mount Vernon Place (at 7th Street). At Thomas Circle, where 14th Street crosses Massachusetts, travel three-quarters of the way around Thomas Circle and take M Street going west (one-way). Go four blocks and turn right onto Connecticut Avenue. Take the underpass under Dupont Circle and continue north on Connecticut for several miles. The cross streets will change, as you travel northward, from single letters in alphabetical order, to two-syllable streets in alphabetical order, to three-syllable streets. The third three-syllable cross street is Chesapeake (after Albemarle and Brandywine). Turn right onto Chesapeake Street. CMC is three blocks in, on your right, past the ballfield. Go just past CMC to turn into the parking lot, which runs around the building in a clockwise direction. You may also park on the street, if the lot is full.
