New Access Road Paved

It may look vaguely like the yellow brick road from the Wizard of Oz, but it’s the new access road for Bldg. 60, the Mary Lasker Center (a.k.a. the Cloister).

Once the gate on Old Georgetown Road and Center Drive closes for construction of the new Clinical Center wing, the only access to Bldgs. 60 and 61 will be to take a hard left at the main campus’s Old Georgetown Road and South Drive entrance. The new access road runs between the perimeter fence and the red brick wall that surrounds Cloister grounds.—Michele Lyons
