Taking a cab from the airport:
If you are flying, you can grab a cab and ask them to take you to Case
Western Reserve University, in University Circle. Ask the cabbie to
drop you off at the entrance to the Rainbow Babies Children's Hospital
on Adelbert Road. From here it is a reasonable walk to our building.
We are on the 5th floor of Sears building. From Rainbow Babies, cross
Adelbert
Road and follow this map showing
the path from the hospital to us. You will enter Sears and
magically
be on the 3rd floor. Take the stairs up to the 5th floor -- it's a lot
faster
than the elevator.
Taking the RTA (rapid transit) from the airport:
The closest stop to CWRU is the Cedar/University Circle Station on the
Red Line.
At the airport, follow the signs for the
RTA/Rapid.
The station is located on the floor below baggage claim. The turnstiles
are on your left at the end of a short hall. A one-way ticket is $2.00.
The airport is the west terminus of the red line so you don't
need
to worry about getting on going the wrong way! The ride to
Cedar/University
Circle takes about 30-40 minutes depending on time of day.
You can find up-to-date RTA schedules here.
At the Cedar/University Circle station, go down
the
stairs at end of platform and through turnstiles. Outside, turn left
and
follow the path until it dead-ends at Adelbert Rd. (tracks will be on
your
left, a parking lot on right). Turn left onto Adelbert, and pass the
parking deck. Now you can follow this map to get to
our department.

Driving from the airport:
Ask yourself if you really want to do this. University Circle is
perhaps the most confusing piece of road ever designed by mankind.
You're usually better just trusting the cabbie. But if you are truly
brave at heart... Ask the car rental agency for a map. You want to get
on I-71 towards Cleveland; when you get close to the city it will merge
into I-90 Eastbound. You'll cross over the Cuyahoga River just as you
get
to downtown, and you'll see the baseball stadium (the Jake!) on your
left.
Take the exit for Carnegie Ave and turn
right (east) off the exit onto Carnegie. Follow Carnegie for a long
time;
you will eventually pass 55th street, then later (crossing the 90s) the
Cleveland
Clinic. Stay in the middle lane and just follow it; don't bear right
until
you absolutely have to. At this point you will pass under the rapid
transit
station and head up a hill. Carnegie gets renamed Cedar at this point.
Halfway
up the hill, turn left at a stoplight onto Murray Hill Rd. Go straight
through the next stoplight, then take a left at the stop sign onto Adelbert Rd.
Turn into the feeder area to the parking garage
immediately on your left;
inside the garage, there is visitor parking.
From the parking garage, follow
this
map to get to our department.
