Campus Maps, Transportation, and Parking

Campus Maps

To find your way around the Evanston or Chicago campuses, use the University's interactive maps, which you will find at: http://www.northwestern.edu/visiting/maps/index.html.

Transportation

The Intercampus Shuttle runs year-round from Monday to Friday, except for University holidays, between the Evanston and Chicago campuses. There is no charge for the shuttle service, however you must present your WildCARD ID when boarding the shuttle. All buses are wheelchair accessible. The shuttle departs the Ward Building (just to the west of Wieboldt Hall) on the Chicago campus approximately every hour and makes multiple stops in downtown Evanston and on the Northwestern campus.
