Directions:
The Bethesda-Chevy Chase Regional Services Center (B-CC) is directly across the street from the Bethesda Metro stop on the red line. If coming from the Metro, head for the bus bay and walk past Dunkin Donuts: this will take you to Edgemoor Lane.
If you are arriving by car, there is an attached parking garage (Garage 49) on Edgemoor Lane — there are elevators at either end of the garage that will take you to B-CC. Parking for this garage is done at garage kiosks or through the ParkMobile app, and the code is 3490001. To get there: when driving to the Pride Center down Edgemoor Ln, make a right at the stop sign. The garage is your first right. Click here to see Garage 49 on Maps!
MoCo Pride Center has two entrances: one on the street level (lobby) of Edgemoor Lane, and one at the Plaza level (1st floor) accessible by outdoor stairs or elevator.
Lobby entrance at 4805 Edgemoor Lane: look for the blue awning that says Geste Beer at the cross of Old Georgetown Road. The front door is directly to the left of this awning!
1st floor entrance: take the elevator up to the Plaza level — there should be signage for B-CC in the elevators. Once you reach the Plaza level, look for the green lawn. In the center of the building, in front of a large square sign marked with the B-CC name, you will find the recessed 1st floor door.
Once inside the building, take the elevator to the 2nd floor. Our offices are to the left of the elevator, just past the bathrooms down that long hallway.

MoCo Pride Center has met personally with community members using wheelchairs to assess any problem areas, and here's what we know:
There isn't as much signage for elevators as there should be outside of the building, and the attached parking garage (Garage 49) can be difficult to navigate. There are multiple exits and ramps are not clearly marked.
On the G level (blue walls), elevators are located at the back of the garage — look for signs for “Old Georgetown Road.” These elevators will let you out by the Chipotle. Elevators are also located on the “Edgemoor” side of the garage starting at the G1 level (green walls) and below. These elevators will let you out by Metro Center, the Kids Museum, and the Skywalk.
Once actually inside the B-CC building, everything should be fine! We have working elevators that serve all levels, smooth floors with no bumps or mats that might catch wheels, tables at wheelchair height and room to maneuver in our library, large and gender-neutral bathroom stalls, and water fountains at varying heights.

The Bethesda-Chevy Chase Regional Services Center has air filtration systems in the building that are up-to-date with seasonal filter replacements. We also have information available on our public board in the building about air filtration and why COVID-19 is still of concern to our community members.
We currently do not require masks for our events, but we provide masks for community members in all Pride Center spaces (though we cannot guarantee KN-95s). We make masks available during large events and have them set out in common areas. Mask usage is always welcome and encouraged in the Pride Center!
-
ASL interpretation is provided for all large events and can be requested for other events if we receive advance notice, whether you’re attending or vending! Several staff members onsite speak Spanish.
