NOTE: ROAD CONSTRUCTION INFO, from Tony: Non-west people are going to be used to the old Naperville ramp. I was very confused on the new one going to the meeting. It doesn't even exit on the same road anymore! And some of the map services have not yet updated (eg, Google). I sent the following to my team: The Naperville Rd exit ramp has been completely rebuilt, and now really should be called the Warrenville Rd exit. Some map services have not yet updated this info. So, at the end of the exit, instead of going left and then right, you turn right immediately, then proceed East to Cabot Drive.
From NORTHWEST SUBURBS: 53 South (becomes 355 South) exit I88 West. Exit 53 South to first traffic light, which is Warrenville Road; turn right (West). Travel about 2 miles to Cabot Drive (2nd stoplight). Turn right onto Cabot Drive (Corporate Lakes). Continue to 2400 Cabot Drive, which is a large red and black building.
From SOUTHWEST SUBURBS: I88 East to Naperville Road exit. Exit Naperville Road left (North) to first traffic light, which is Warrenville Road. Turn right on Warrenville Road (East) to Cabot Drive (2nd stoplight). Turn left onto Cabot Drive (Corporate Lakes). Continue to 2400 Cabot Drive, which is a large red and black building.
From NORTH: I294 South to I88 West, then follow the directions above.
