DIRECTIONS

From I-74:
Exit at the Lincoln Avenue exit. Turn onto Lincoln heading south (toward campus). At the intersection of Lincoln & Green, turn right onto Green (heading west). The Illini Union will be to the left on Green, (approximately 3 blocks) just before the intersection of Green and Wright. If you are traveling by bus, pass the Union and turn right at the next street (Wright). Stop just around the corner on the right at the bus shelter for passengers to disembark and walk to the Union.

 
PARKING

Parking for buses is available in the Assembly Hall parking lot, E-14, on the south edge of campus. Lot E-14 is between Oak and First streets, south of Florida Avenue and just west of the Assembly Hall. Longer buses will need to be parked in the Assembly Hall parking lot. A CU-MTD bus picks up at that lot and takes riders to the Illini Union. See schedule here.

The bus dropoff spot nearest the Illini Union is on Wright Street, just north of Green. See the map (link above) for complete details.

If you arrive by car and wish to park in a metered space near the Illini Union, a limited number of spaces have been reserved for ISHSPA. These spaces are available at the cost of $10 each in advance. Others may choose to bring a roll of quarters and feed the meters as needed. Parking requests must be made to Lynn Holley, executive director of ISHSPA, by Sept. 18, 2009.
