Getting to my office from the East or South
via I-94, I-90, I-80 or I-57
Once you reach the Chicago area, you want to get onto northbound I-94. Please make the
following notes. If you are coming from
- I-80/I-94: I-94 splits from I-80 and heads northbound south of Chicago
- I-57: I-57 ends at and merges into I-94 on the southside of Chicago
- I-90: I-90 merges with I-94 on the southside of Chicago
Once you are on northbound I-94:
- when I-94 splits from I-90, bear to the right, staying on I-94
- take I-94 north to Dempster St east
- follow Dempster St approximately five miles through the suburbs of Skokie and Evanston
- turn left onto northbound Forest Ave just through downtown Evanston
(the last traffic light before Dempster St ends at Lake Michigan); you know you'll be
approaching this light by looking for the following landmarks:
- the second-to-last traffic light is at Chicago Ave, in downtown Evanston. At this
intersection there is
a Baskin-Robbins ice cream shop on the left (northeast corner), and a pet store
on the right (southwest corner).
- One block past Chicago Ave is Hinman Ave; the intersection of Dempster and Hinman is a
four-way stop. On the left (northeast corner) is an elementary school.
- Two blocks further is Forest Ave and its traffic light.
- follow northbound Forest Ave for approximately half a mile, curving to the right (eastbound),
then left (northbound),
until it merges with and ends at Sheridan Rd.
When this occurs, you will see Lake Michigan on your right (to the east).
- Sheridan Rd curves to the left (westbound) when it reaches the main body of the Evanston campus.
Take a right at the first light to stay on Sheridan. Follow Sheridan north to the light at
Noyes St. Tech is the big building on the right.
