more about the UCIMC: 

The UCIMC is centrally located in downtown Urbana. The Post Office remains at this location, and Lincoln Square Village, the Historic Lincoln Hotel and both the County and Federal Courthouses surround the building.

Although painted in stylish and smart colors, the historic ambiance has been maintained throughout the UCIMC building. From high ceilings, to natural woodwork, to marble flooring, to large paned windows flooding the space with natural light, no detail has been overlooked. Yet, with the historic preservation, several modern amenities abound, including free wireless internet, ethernet, individual climate control, and secure entries. On site parking available.

Transportation
Transportation to and from UCIMC is easy. On-site parking is available at the best rate in downtown Urbana - $30 per month. Visitor parking is only 25 cents an hour in the city parking deck right across the street.

MTD bus service operates a main hub right across the street, providing routing service throughout the C-U area.

The Bike Coop is located inside UCIMC, providing you with yet another means of healthy and eco-friendly transportation.
