The University of Illinois homepage has maps, and lots of information about the campus and the community of Champaign-Urbana.

We have a modern airport, code letters CMI, named Willard Airport, with ~20 flights daily by American Airlines, Northwest Airlines, and Allegiant. Our main connections are to Chicago O'Hare (ORD), Dallas/Ft. Worth (DFW), and Detroit (DTW). Willard Airport is about 4 miles south of campus. Ground transportation is provided by our award winning MTD, taxis, and the usual rental car agencies.

Our research group is located on the 4th Floor of the new Chemical and Life Sciences Laboratory, 601 S. Goodwin Ave.; Urbana, IL 61801. We're right across the street from the Krannert Center for Performing Arts

The Chemical and Life Sciences Laboratory.
