Take the East/West Tollway (I-88) west to Aurora. Exit at Route 31 (second Aurora exit) and go south. Watch your odometer-approximately 3 miles to the south of the tollway, at a stoplight, you will come to Downer Place. Turn right (or go west) two blocks. We are located on the left side of the street. It is a large three story brick building with off street parking on the side.
From the South
The Fox River bisects Aurora. The main two north/south state routes are Route 25 (also known as Broadway locally) which parallels the river on the east side, and Route 31 (also known as Lake Street locally) which parallels the river on the west side. Either route will cross Downer Place at a stop light coming from the south. As we are located three blocks west of the river, you must go west or make a left hand turn when you come to Downer Place.
From the West
From Route 47, or from Orchard Road, the easiest way to reach us is by taking Galena Boulevard, which will cross both of these at major intersections with stoplights. As we are located three blocks west of the center downtown area, you must continue into Aurora going east. At any point when you see a residential area, you may turn right and go one block to the south. This will be Downer Place, which parallels Galena. Turn to the left. Simply watch street numbers as they will decrease until you reach the 300 block of Downer. We will be located on your right hand side. You are looking for a three story brick building with off street parking on the east side.
From Aurora
Take Galena Boulevard west from Aurora to where it dead-ends at Route 47 in Sugar Grove. Turn to the right (or go north) to the first stoplight (slightly more than 1/4 mile). Turn left, and take the first left turn (Division Street). Our facility will be on your left side.
From Chicago or the Western Suburbs
Take the East/West Tollway (I-88) west past the Route 31 Aurora Exit. Approximately 2 1/2 miles to the west you will come to a marked exit for Route 56 to Sugar Grove. After another 2 1/2 miles you will come to Galena Boulevard. Take this exit, and turn right on Galena, and proceed west about a mile until Galena dead-ends at a stoplight at Route 47. Turn right (or go north) to the first stoplight (slightly more than 1/4 mile. Turn left, and take the first left turn (Division Street). Our facility will be on your left side.
From the South
Take Route 47 north, which bisects the Village of Sugar Grove. Continue through the Village and you will come to a stoplight at Galena Boulevard. Slightly more than 1/4 mile north you will come to another stoplight. Turn to the left, and take the first left turn (Division Street). Our facility will be on your left side.
