Location of the Law School
Chicago-Kent is located in downtown Chicago at 565 West Adams
Street, between Clinton and Jefferson Streets. This location places
us one block west of Union Train Station, three blocks south of
the Ogilvie Transportation Center and three blocks west of the
Sears Tower. Many of the buses that go to downtown Chicago (the
"Loop") end up at the train stations and therefore are
very convenient for commuting to Chicago-Kent. The elevated train
("el") stops are also within a few blocks of the building.
The Chicago
Transit Authority (CTA) offers an information line that will
tell you the best public transportation routes to your destination.
To obtain information call (312) 836-7000 and tell them where
you are located and where you would like to go. Public transportation
route maps and timetables are also available through the CTA information
line or on their website at www.transitchicago.com.
Monthly passes for unlimited rides on CTA buses and trains currently
cost $75 per month. Individual rides cost $2.00. All full-time
students will automatically be enrolled in the CTA's U-Pass program
which provides unlimited rides on all CTA buses and trains for
the academic year. For 2005-06, the cost of the U-Pass was $172
for the academic year. For more information on the U-Pass program,
visit www.kentlaw.edu/depts/
stuservices/u-pass.htm.
If you plan to drive to school, we are located approximately
two blocks east of the Kennedy and Dan Ryan expressways, two blocks
north of the Eisenhower expressway, and a mile west of Lake Shore
Drive. There is some street parking, and there are many parking
lots in the surrounding area. Discounted parking rates are available
at some nearby lots. See www.kentlaw.edu/depts/administration/record.html
for information on lots offering discounted rates.
