The new location, at 1765 Duke St. is connected to the and across the street from King Street Metro.

Carr anticipates the new location will serve the flexible workspace needs of the association, legal, consulting and government relations sectors active in the Old Town area. It is designed for professionals who desire a small office setting and need close proximity to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and Federal Courthouse.
