If you are staying in New York City, plan for at least 1 hour 15 minutes driving time in a car. For a bus, plan for at least 1 hour 45 minutes from New York City, since buses are not allowed to drive on Parkways.

When using a GPS device, you can enter "TJ Watson Research Center, Yorktown Heights". This will take you directly to the entrance to the Research Center. Enter the driveway behind the IBM sign and drive to the security gate. If you are not a local IBM Research employee, press the buzzer at the gate and tell Security that you are attending a Think Lab meeting. Park in front of the building and enter the front lobby.

At the front desk, the clients must show a photo ID. If requested, IBMers should show their IBM badges. The Think Lab entrance is located at the left rear of the front lobby.
