By Car

If you are coming from the east via Interstate 90, exit at Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. Proceed south for about a mile to the East 105th traffic light; cross over East 105th and bear right over the traffic circle, continuing along Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard to Euclid Avenue. Turn left onto Euclid and watch for the Information Booth at the right.

If you are coming from the east via Interstate 80 (Ohio Turnpike), remain on the Turnpike until you reach Interchange 13. Exit there and proceed north on Interstate 480, which merges with Interstate 271. Exit I-271 at Cedar Road and follow it westbound towards Cleveland. Where Cedar starts down a steep hill and lane-switching lights are hanging overhead, look for a sign identifying Case Western Reserve University at the corner of Murray Hill Road (the first light at the bottom of the hill). Turn right onto Murray Hill, bear left at the traffic light, and turn left at the three-way stop on the other side of the bridge. You will be on Adelbert Road near the center of campus.

If you are coming from the west via the Ohio Turnpike, exit at Interchange 8A and follow Interstate 90 east. In the downtown area, exit on Chester Avenue and proceed east to Euclid Avenue. Turn left onto Euclid and look to the right for the Information Booth.

If you are coming from the south via Interstate 71 (or Interstate 77), proceed north until I-71 (or I-77) merges with Interstate 90, take I-90 east, then exit onto Chester eastbound as above.
