Security
Government-issued photo ID is required for entry.
-
U.S. Citizens must show any government-issued picture ID (i.e., driver's license, passport, non-driver's official state ID, certain military ID)
-
Non-U.S. Citizens must show a valid passport for access to CDC facilities
Non-CDC conference attendees are required to remain in the Global Communications Center building once they arrive; visiting other CDC campus buildings is not allowed unless escorted by a CDC staffer. Long-term visitors who have been fingerprinted and have been granted a picture ID badge do not need to be escorted in general access areas. An escorted visitor must carry a valid ID and sign-in at all applicable visitor logs (those at the entrances to the facilities to which the visitor will gain access).
All attendees are subject
to a security clearance unless they are CDC employees or contractors.
It takes up to 10 business days to process non-U.S. citizens
and therefore there is no on-site registration allowed for
non U.S. citizens.
Receiving a Visitor's
Badge
Visitor's badges will be distributed just past the security desk at the visitor's center (at the front entry of the CDC). Attendees will not be allowed into the meeting room area without a badge.
Parking/Security Car Inspection
Visitors parking is available, yet limited. Attendees traveling by car must pass through a mandatory security car inspection at the security guard station. Security officers will ask to see your picture ID (driver's license or passport) and will do a quick scan of the undercarriage of your vehicle. Security officers will then ask you to open both the truck and the hood of your car for inspection. You will then be directed to the visitor parking deck (straight ahead). When you walk into the Tom Harkin Global Communications Center from the parking deck (ground level), you will be entering the Global Health Odyssey lobby.
When registering for the conference, please indicate whether you plan to travel to the CDC by car. A special vehicle placard will be provided to you. The placard will speed the mandatory security car inspection process. Taxi Service
Taxis are allowed to pick up and drop off in front of the CGG Global Health Odyssey lobby.
Phones and Internet Access
Should attendees need access to a phone, there are phones in the small offices near the foyer area outside Auditorium B and the 240 rooms on the first floor. Cell phone reception is not always strong inside the building.
Wireless internet access is available through the GCC.
CDC is a non-smoking
campus.
