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.
From the east
- using US36/72:
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 south
- using I-55:
Leave the interstate at exit (#90) for Toronto Road. Turn right
(east) at the top of exit ramp, proceed through small business area,
over a rail crossing, past a Springfield Fire Dept. Station; follow
the roadway as it curves left and passes CACC (Capital Area Career
Center). Following CACC's campus, turn left (north) into the 11th
St. extension road. Any of the next three right turns will lead
you to the UIS campus.
OR: Alternative route: when Toronto Road curves left and passes
CACC, keep going ahead to the traffic light at the intersection
with Shepherd Road (at the entrance to the Lincoln Land Community
College campus); turn left (north) and proceed a short distance
to the south edge of the UIS campus.
