Parking
Street parking is available around the area. You can check the rates and availability with ParkChicago apps. There are many parking garages and parking lots nearby that are listed at online parking space reservation services, such as ParkWhiz and SpotHero, where you can find lower hourly rates and reserve them ahead of time.
Our location is on the northeastern corner of the Chicago Loop. All of the Chicago Transit Authority’s (CTA) El trains and subways have a station within a couple of blocks, and there are many bus routes that stop nearby.
By Train
Both O’Hare and Midway have CTA train lines that run very close to our campus. You can purchase a Ventra card at the vending machines before entering the train stations at the airport. The vending machines take credit cards.
From O’Hare: take the Blue Line to Clark/Lake station downtown (about an hour).
From Midway: take the Orange Line to State/Lake station or Clark/Lake station downtown (about 30 minutes).
Meadville Lombard is within 3 blocks of each of those stations. The Clark/Lake station is ADA accessible, the State/Lake station is not.
