Driving instructions to UWM
FROM SOUTH (Chicago or airport): Take I94 west (it actually runs north) until you reach I-794 near downtown Milwaukee. Take I-794 east and follow the lane that reads “to Lakefront” or “Lincoln Memorial Drive”. You will quickly come to a stoplight where you will turn left onto Lincoln Memorial Drive and follow it approximately 3.5 miles along the lakefront until it turns away from the lake and climbs a hill to a stoplight. Go straight at this light---you are now heading west on Kenwood Boulevard. Continue west on Kenwood for several blocks to a stoplight at Kenwood and Maryland Avenue. If you are going to Sandburg Halls, turn right onto Maryland and proceed north for a couple blocks to the complex of four large towers which comprise Sandburg Halls. If you are going to the mathematics department, continue west on Kenwood for another block, then turn right into a large parking lot. The Engineering and Mathematical Sciences (EMS) Building is the tall building at the northwest corner of this parking lot. The Math Department is on the 4th floor of this building.
FROM WEST (Madison): Take I94 east to Milwaukee. When you approach the downtown area, follow I-794 east towards the lakefront. Then follow the above instructions.
Parking near EMS may be scarce, though easier to find before 9AM.
PARKING OPTION 1: Reserved Parking is available upon advanced request in either the School of Business Administration Parking area or the UWM Student Union Parking area. This option requires the use of a parking pass that is swiped to obtain entrance and again swiped to exit the parking structures. If you are planning to drive on Thursday morning in time for the conference, please contact the organizers by August 15th to arrange for a parking pass.
PARKING OPTION 2: Park in the surface lot on Kenwood Boulevard described in the above driving instructions. Park in a space which does not require a Faculty/Staff Permit. Pay for parking at the machine at the edge of the lot.
PARKING OPTION 3: (Underneath the EMS Building) Instead of turning into the surface lot, continue west on Kenwood to Cramer Street. Trun right on Cramer and proceed north for about one block. Look for parking signs which direct you under the EMS building. Pay the machine.
PARKING OPTION 4: Another surface lot is located at the corner of Cramer St. and Hartford Ave. The entrance to this lot is reached by proceeding north on Cramer to the next corner (Hartford Ave.), turning right (east), and turning into the first driveway on the right. Park in a space which does not require a Faculty/Staff Permit. Pay for parking at a machine in the lot.
PARKING OPTION 5: There are 1- and 2-hour metered and unmetered parking places on the streets near EMS, the longer period parking places being found farther from EMS.
