CPSC is located in Bethesda Towers, which is across the street from Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School.  We are in the North Tower, which is one of 3 buildings that make up Bethesda Towers.  The North Tower is at 4330 East-West Highway, which is the tower farthest from the Metro/Wisconsin Avenue.  Take the elevator to the 4 th  floor.  The meeting is in room 410 B/C.  

 

CPSC is 2˝ blocks from Bethesda Station on the Red Line, and about 2 miles from the Capital Beltway.  Underground parking is available until 7:00 p.m.  There are public garages and street parking with 2 blocks.   The building and garage entrances are locked at 7:00 p.m., so please arrive on time.
