Directions and Transportation

In person courses are conducted at McCrone Research Institute, located at 2820 South Michigan Avenue (28th and Michigan Ave) in Chicago (see map below). McCrone is a one-story, black brick building set back from Michigan Avenue with a driveway and parking lot that can be accessed only from the southbound lane of Michigan Avenue. Parking is free; parking elsewhere, especially in downtown Chicago, can be very expensive.
If You Are Driving
  • From expressways I-90/94, you can exit at 31st Street and go east towards Michigan Avenue.
