Navigating NCAR

On the first day of the workshop, all visitors need to present a picture ID at the security guard station check in and state that they are attending the CLASS Users' Workshop. The guards will have a list of attendees.

At the workshop, please pick up your visitor badge. This will serve as your ID the next time you enter security check in. You will not need to check out with the security guard upon leaving the premises. And importantly, no one is permitted to pull their cars up to the front doors for security purposes.

Note that you can only enter into the NCAR building through the main lobby. If you leave through one of the exit doors, there is not a way to reenter the building without going around to the front main lobby entrance. Only the doors from within the cafeteria onto the cafeteria terrace eating area are the exception to this rule.
