How to Get Here
The Divinity School is located in Swift Hall, near the center of the main quadrangles of the University of Chicago campus. Visitors may reach the main quadrangles from downtown Chicago by Metra commuter train (from Randolph and Michigan to 59th Street, University of Chicago stop); by CTA bus (No. 6 Jackson Park Express and, during rush hours, No. 2 Hyde Park Express, both boarded along State Street in the Loop); and by car (via Lake Shore Drive). Persons arriving at O’Hare or Midway Airports may take the Omega Airport Shuttle to Ida Noyes Hall at the University, approximately three blocks from Swift Hall.
Swift Hall houses the administrative offices of the Divinity School, the offices of the faculty and staff, class and seminar rooms, Swift Lecture Hall, Swift Common Room, a student lounge, and a coffee shop. Upon occasion, University facilities outside of Swift Hall are used for classes and meetings.
The John Nuveen Wing of Swift Hall houses the Martin Marty Center, a research arm of the Divinity School dedicated to interdisciplinary inquiry in religion. It contains offices, seminar rooms, and a small reference library for the use of research fellows.
