If you are not rotating at UIC and are unsure of where to park, there is street parking available near VA (across Damon), but by 7am, it is gone. Most residents park in the Juvenile Parking Center (1101 S Hamilton Ave, Chicago IL 60612) which is $2 for an unlimited time. You can also park in UIC parking garages, which are closer, however, are significantly more expensive (1100 South Wood St.). Be sure to allot for extra time for parking and walking.

Take the steps down one level and you’ll find the Johnson Auditorium.
Olson Auditorium: Enter through the hospital at the Parkside entrance just off Luther Lane via the sliding glass doors. Walk in the main corridor past the B elevators and follow the signs for Osen Auditorium. It will be past the surgical suite on the 1st floor.
10th floor rooms: Go back up to the main hospital level and walk down the hallway towards your left with large glass windows on your left hand side, towards the B elevator bank, which will be the first set of elevators on your right. Take those to the 10th floor and make your way to these rooms, if you’ve hit the cafeteria then you’ve gone the wrong direction.
