TOUR INFORMATION:

Before Arrival
Site access must be arranged through your NWI point of contact, prior to your visit.
If you are a non-US person, then you must coordinate with your NWI point of contact approximately two weeks prior to visit, if possible.

Please note our Facility Restrictions.
Valid government-issued photo ID is required upon arrival. Acceptable forms of ID include driver license, U.S. passport, military ID, permanent resident card, and certificate of naturalization.

Driving Directions
The best address to type into Google Maps is 3283 McGavock Pike, Nashville, TN 37214. Using an iPhone map app may lead you to a different location, so using Google Maps will be most helpful. The street name has recently been changed from McGavock Pike to Aerospace Way, so while the street name says Aerospace Way, Google Maps has not yet updated their maps to reflect the street name change.
Once you turn onto Aerospace Way/McGavock Pike, you will take the very first right into the parking lot.
Stay to the right and drive along the fence line (following signs to the Main Offices) until you have reached the lowest and final parking lot that has a flag pole, turnstiles, and gate.

Upon Arrival
Call your host once you have parked to let them know you have arrived. When you get to the gate and turnstiles, please use the phone to dial
615-361-2063 to call security. They will buzz you in through the gate.
Your host will meet you in the lobby to give you a visitor’s badge.
