Information for Visitors
General Info
UMER is located at the University of Maryland, College Park, in the Energy Research Building, building number 223 on the campus map.

Meeting Rooms
Meetings are often held in the nearby Jeong H. Kim Engineering Building (225), or the AV Williams Building (115). 

Parking
Visitors Parking for all 3 buildings can be found in the Paint Branch Drive visitors lot adjacent to the Kim Building.  It costs a maximum of $15 per day.  We no longer validate parking stubs except on special occasions, in which case we will be providing you with a PIN number to use in advance.

Air and Rail Travel
BWI (Baltimore) is the nearest airport and is about a half hour drive from campus.  Washington Reagan National (DCA) is connected to campus by Metro (Green line trains to College Park Station, then take the free University Shuttle Bus).  The third DC area airport, Dulles (IAD), is somewhat far (at least 1 hour drive).  Amtrak visitors can exit at Union Station, then take the Metro to College Park.

Directions from BWI
 * Take I-295 South
 * Exit on Greenbelt Road, West towards College Park
 * Past Route US-1, turn LEFT at the first light onto Paint Branch Drive.
 * IREAP is the first main building on the left.
