HCSC is located at 300 E. Randolph. This is approximately 2 miles from Union Station. We are 3 blocks east of Michigan avenue & Randolph heading upward on Randolph. HCSC is located next to the AON building.
If traveling on train from either Union Station or Ogilvey - The easiest method is to catch a cab from these locations to 300 E. Randolph. Cabs should be approximately $7.00. I do the walk from Union Station, but it is a good hike - especially in the cold weather. From the Randolph train station, we are approximately 3 blocks east on Randolph. |
