From the South or Southeast (Interstate 94, Interstate 90, Interstate 80 or Interstate 57)

Once you reach the Chicago area, you’ll 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 south side of Chicago

I-90: I-90 merges with I-94 on the south side of Chicago

Once you are on northbound I-94:

When I-94 splits from I-90, bear to the right, staying on I-94. If you choose the express lane on 90-94 (Dan Ryan Expressway), stay in that lane until it ends and merge with I-94 West.

Take I-94 West north to Dempster Street east. (Note: Highway is called I-94 West, but runs north in Chicago.)

Follow Dempster Street approximately five miles through the suburbs of Skokie and Evanston.

Turn left onto northbound Forest Avenue just through downtown Evanston (the last traffic light before Dempster Street ends at Lake Michigan).

Follow northbound Forest Avenue for approximately half a mile, curving to the right (eastbound), then left (northbound), until it merges with and ends at Sheridan Road. When this occurs, you will see Lake Michigan on your right (to the east).

The John Evans Alumni Center is on the left side of Sheridan Road, on the northwest corner of the intersection of Sheridan Road and Clark Street.
