From Interstate 74, LINCOLN AVE (Urbana) exit:
Go south on Lincoln Ave (towards Urbana) off of the exit ramp.
If you are staying at the Illini Union and want to go there first, then
Else, if you are going directly to the Graduate School of LIS, then
- Stay on Lincoln Ave. until Green St. (Green St. has a stoplight)
- Turn right (west) on to Green Street.
- The Union is on the left side (south) on Green St. (1401 W. Green St., Urbana)
There is major construction on Green Street immediately after the Union and before you get close to the Graduate School of Library and Information Science.- We recommend that if you can, leave your car at the Union and walk (map) to the Graduate School of LIS. (The Union is building I3 in C4 and GSLIS is building L6 in C3 on the map - a nice stroll of about 5 blocks which takes about 10 minutes). If you walk through the Quad, it can be very nice.
Call if you get lost (217)244-3274.

- Continue on University several blocks until you get to 1st Street (to avoid construction area on Green)
