By car: Take Interstate 90/94 into the downtown area and exit west onto the Eisenhower Expressway, 1-290. Or take Lake Shore Drive and follow the signs to pick up the Congress Parkway going west; Congress in turn feeds onto the Eisenhower Expressway. Either way, exit from the Eisenhower at Damen, turning turn left (south) onto Damen at the traffic light. Take Damen four blocks and turn left (east) onto Polk. Turn left into the parking structure in the 1800 block of Polk. (For a reduced parking rate, pick up a visitor's pass at the desk in the lobby of the Administration Building.)
Alternate parking: If the John H. Stroger, Jr. Hospital lot is full, continue 2 blocks further east and turn left (north) onto Paulina Street, then right (east) onto Harrison to park in the Rush parking structure.
