From the east – using US 36/72: At intersection with I-55, choose I-55 South, following it to Stevenson Drive exit (#94). Turn right (west) at top of exit ramp, proceed through 2 traffic signals; at 3rd signal, turn left (south) into West Lake Shore Drive and continue to the edge of the UIS campus.
From the west – using US 36/72: Leave highway by exit ramp to 6th St. North, drive a short distance to a traffic light, turn right (east) onto Hazel Dell, which curves and becomes 11th Street. This goes over I-55 on a bridge, to a stoplight. If you make a left turn at the light, it is again Hazel Dell and can be followed to West Lake Shore Drive (traffic light, small school bldg.) where you turn right (south) and reach the north boundary of UIS campus. If you proceed straight ahead through the traffic light at 11th /Hazel Dell, you are on the 11th St. Extension. Follow roadway to a STOP sign, at intersection of 11th St. Extension and campus roadway called Ernest Hemingway Drive, where the University of Illinois at Springfield sign is (considered the main entrance to the campus); make a left turn into the boulevard roadway (Hemingway Drive). At the next STOP sign, you are at the edge of the UIS campus. If you proceed straight ahead – through 2 stop signs – you will approach the “teardrop” entrance to the PAC building.
