Directions to Nevis Laboratories

By car

Maps that mark the exact location of the main entrance:

• Google Maps
• Apple Maps

The turn into the Nevis driveway is easy to miss. You are looking for a small white sign that marks the driveway into Nevis. Be careful not to turn into Ardsley Avenue next to the driveway.

• Turn west into the driveway next to Ardsley Ave (the road down to Ardsley train station).
• Follow the driveway that curves around to the parking lot where you can park.
• The Research building is the brick building directly in front of the parking lot.

By train

The train schedule for the Metro-North Hudson line is available on-line. Select trains leaving from either Grand Central or Marble Hill, and arriving at Ardsley.

From Columbia University

Take the 1 train north to 225th street. As you walk down the stairs from the elevated platform, note the location of the Metro-North Marble Hill train station about one block to the west. The northbound train stops there hourly about 40 minutes after the hour during non-rush hours. Take the train north to the Ardsley-on-Hudson station and follow the directions below.

From elsewhere in Manhattan

Go to Grand Central Station (here's a subway map). Take the Metro-North Hudson Line train northbound. During non-rush hours, this train leaves Grand Central hourly at 20 minutes after the hour. Get off at the Ardsley-on-Hudson station and follow the directions below.

Once you're at Ardsley-on-Hudson...

Take the left-hand road uphill (Ardsley Avenue West). Take the first asphalt driveway on the left to enter the Nevis estate. You'll see the cyclotron building on the right as you continue. Follow the S-curve of the road to the right around the cyclotron building; the electronics building will be on your left. Continue between the buildings and follow the road as it bends to the left. As you go uphill, you'll see a driveway leading to the machine shop on your left (but continue to follow the main road). When you see the parking lot, the research building will be on your left and the Nevis Science Center will be on your right.
