Directions from I-95 Southbound

• Take Exit 33B toward Burtonsville.  Merge onto SANDY SPRING RD/MD-198.
• Prepare to turn left onto SWEITZER LANE in 0.8 miles.  Three lanes turn left, but one lane disappears after the turn, so it’s easiest to stay in left lane.

• Pass the employee entrance for underground parking
• If parking on the building side, pass the one-way circular driveway exit, then turn left into the lot from the next entrance. Pass the exit from the circular driveway, then turn left.
• Make immediate right into first visitor parking area.  
• If lot is full, turn right to proceed to the second visitor parking area.
• You may also park in the lots across the street.  Do not use spots marked for WSSC Water trucks, at the north end. Use caution at crosswalk on Sweitzer Lane.
• After entering the building, stop at the security desk straight ahead.
