Getting to NMC

DRIVING TO THE NMC FROM SANTA FE / ESPANOLA

Take NM-502 West in to Los Alamos.  Continue on NM-502 as it turns into East Road, then Trinity Drive until you reach the intersection of Trinity Drive and Diamond Drive.  Make a left turn on Diamond Drive.  Continue on southbound Diamond Drive/NM-501, cross the gorge bridge, then make the first right turn after the bridge.  This will take you to the Los Alamos Research Park parking lot. 

Once inside the building, take the elevator or stairs to the third floor. The door to the NMC is around the corner to the left of the elevators. Just come in. The Receptionist desk is just inside the door. If you have any questions, call the main NMC number: 505-412-4200.

**Please Note:  If you are coming from northbound Diamond Drive/NM-501 (Los Alamos Truck Route), you will need to cross the gorge bridge, make a u-turn, and enter the parking lot from southbound Diamond Drive/NM-501.  There is no left turn from northbound Diamond Drive/NM-501.
