Security Procedures for the National Wind Technology Center

Upon arrival at the NWTC gate, you must check in with NREL Security at the Site Entrance Building and provide government-issued photo identification (e.g., driver's license, passport, military ID). Security staff will provide you with a visitor's badge and direct you to Building 251 to meet your host. Visitor vehicles are not permitted in any other areas except the designated visitor's parking area outside Building 251. Foreign Nationals should check with their host prior to their visit to make sure that a Foreign National Data Card has been signed and approved.
