THE MIDWAYSouth of campus between 59th and 60th streets
The Midway Plaisance is technically a one-mile-long park stretching between Washington and Jackson Parks, but it’s so much more than that. It’s a Frisbee field, a Quidditch pitch, an ice rink, a sunning spot, and a grassy piece of Chicago history.
DID YOU KNOW? The Midway was a central part of the World’s Columbian Exposition of 1893, where it was the site of the world’s first Ferris wheel.
REYNOLDS CLUB 5706 S. University Ave. (at S. University Ave.)studentactivities.uchicago.edu
The social heart of UChicago, Reynolds Club is home to the student organi-zation o!ces, pool tables, prime napping nooks, and delicious food. If you’re superstitious, be careful not to step on the brass University seal, or else you may not graduate in four years.
TIP: RC001, in the basement of Reynolds Club, is the student organization headquarters and o!ers resources to make posters, banners, buttons, and more! Check out studentactivities.uchicago.edu for an ever-growing list of activities and organizations.
ROCKEFELLER MEMORIAL CHAPEL5850 S. Woodlawn Ave. (at E. 59th St.)rockefeller.uchicago.edu
Named for John D. Rockefeller, our beloved founder, Rockefeller Memorial Chapel is notable for its incredibly beautiful stained glass and its 72-bell carillon—the second largest in the world. Be sure to catch a tour—climbing the 271 steps of the carillon tower is optional.
JOSEPH BOND CHAPEL1025 E. 58th St. (near S. Ellis Ave.)divinity.uchicago.edu/students/bond.shtml
Much smaller than its Rockefeller counterpart, Bond Chapel serves as an intimate place of worship and as a venue for the weddings, funerals, and other special events of University of Chicago students, faculty, sta!, and alumni.
JOE AND RIKA MANSUETO LIBRARY1100 E. 57th St. (at S. Ellis Ave.) mansueto.lib.uchicago.edu
Dubbed “the library of the future” by Wired Magazine, Mansueto is a glass dome (or an igloo, depending on the season) with a study space above ground and space for 3.5 million volumes of books below, all retrievable by giant robotic cranes—no, seriously. The dome is made of 671 rectangular glass panels, none of which are the same size. Student nickname: “The egg at the Reg.”
TIP: It’s hard to miss artist Henry Moore’s 12-foot bronze sculpture called “Nuclear Energy” just outside Mansueto. It commemorates the creation of the first controlled, self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction, achieved by UChicago scientist Enrico Fermi and his team, as part of the Manhattan Project. The sculpture stands on the grounds of the University’s old Stagg Field, under which the experiment took place in 1942.
HARPER READING ROOMHarper Memorial Library, 3rd Floor1116 E. 59th St.
The reading room of Harper Memorial Library, the University’s first permanent library, may now be called the Arley D. Cathey Learning Center, but it’s still the stately Gothic space it always was.
We can’t tell you what to do, but we can strongly recommend checking out these featured spots on our campus. Don’t forget to stop by the C-Bench and Botany Pond, two historic landmarks on the Quad.
CHICAGO BOOTH SCHOOL OF BUSINESS HARPER CENTER5807 S. Woodlawn Ave. (at E. 58th St.)
Through the use of limestone, Gothic arches, and an internal quadrangle, architect Rafael Viñoly echoed campus in the design of the Charles M. Harper Center, with references to the horizontal lines of neighboring Robie House and the soaring tower of Rockefeller Chapel across the street. The winter garden serves as the quadrangle, an open, light-filled community space.
REVA AND DAVID LOGAN CENTER FOR THE ARTS915 E. 60th St. (at S. Drexel Ave.)logan.uchicago.edu
The new Reva and David Logan Center for the Arts is a catalyst for creativity at the University of Chicago. A cornerstone of south campus, the visually stunning glass and stone building designed by award-winning architects Tod Williams and Billie Tsien seamlessly bridges the space between art and architecture.
The University bus system, UChicaGO, provides free transportation via University evening shuttle routes that loop through campus. The Chicago Transit Authority also has daytime buses with routes around the neighborhood, all of which are free with a UChicago ID; $2.25 without. Downtown Chicago is a seven-mile bus, cab, or Metra train ride away.
CHICAGO TRANSIT AUTHORITY
The CTA is Chicago’s public transportation system, o!ering a large network of buses, elevated trains, and subways around the city.
TIP: How long is the wait for a bus? Track it on your phone or computer at uchicago.transloc.com.

#6: The Jackson Park Express connects Hyde Park and downtown and is a good way to get to the Art Institute, Michigan Avenue, and Millennium Park.
#2: The Hyde Park Express runs to and from the Loop during the morning and evening rush hours during the week. Fast, e!cient, and sometimes very crowded, this bus is perfect for people who are headed to South Campus—the Law School, Harris, Logan, etc.
#55: The Garfield bus is popular for those going to the Red Line train at Garfield or to Midway Airport. Note: Be sure to take a bus that says “Midway” because buses to “St. Louis” do not go all the way there.
#X28: The Stony Island Express heads north to Museum Campus then west to Union Station.
#192: Catch the UC Hospitals Express between Ogilvie Station, Union Sta-tion, and UChicago Medicine during the morning and evening rush hours.

TIP: Order a reusable CTA Chicago Card and connect it to your credit or debit card so you never have to worry about having exact change: chicago-card.com.

Pick-up locations can be found within two blocks of nearly every building on campus and each residence hall buses every 20–30 minutes. You can track NightRide through TransLoc on mobile applications and monitors in designated buildings.
METRA ELECTRIC
The Metra commuter train runs on a set schedule, about every 10 minutes during rush hour and about every hour otherwise. Fares to downtown start at $3, and multi-use cards can be purchased at each station. You can also pay in cash on board, but there’s a surcharge. Check out the schedule at metrarail.com.
Destinations: North to Museum Campus, Van Buren St., and Millennium Station, as well as south to 211th St.
