Directions & Visiting Information

The Pass and ID Office is located on Cloyne Court off Training Station Road just before the bridge outside of Gate 1, Naval Station Newport. Most visitors will need to go to the Pass and ID Office prior to driving to Gate 1. Please have vehicle registration, insurance card, and driver’s license. The visitor’s sponsor will need to submit a Gate Access Request to NWC Security by 2:30 p.m. on the day prior to the visit.

Note: If you are visiting outside of normal working hours, proceed to Gate 1.

Most visitors to NWC are sponsored by a member of the faculty or staff and resident students. The sponsor needs to fill out a Gate Access Request from the NWC Intranet to allow visitor base access. This will place the visitor on the base access list and NWC Security will have a visitor badge for each visitor ready at the quarterdeck in Conolly Hall. The sponsor will need to sign in the visitor at the quarterdeck. If a reserved parking spot is required, the sponsor needs to include that in the Gate Access Request.

If you have no current affiliation with the NWC, but wish to establish contact with a NWC department of interest for professional and academic purposes, please take a look throughout the site for your area of interest. Once you have contacted a department and determined a mutually agreeable relationship, that specific department will sponsor individual/group.
