Between Northwestern and the Lakefront

Axis is located between the Northwestern medical district, downtown Chicago, and the lake. Head west along Erie Street toward Shirley Ryan AbilityLab, Northwestern Medicine’s Lavin Family Pavilion, Northwestern Memorial Hospital, Feinberg School of Medicine, Pritzker School of Law, and Lurie Children’s. Head east for lakefront paths, open space, and a change of pace beyond the hospital and campus corridors.

For healthcare professionals, residents, fellows, university employees, and students, the location supports early starts, late finishes, and schedules that do not always follow a standard workday. Erie Street runs through many of Streeterville’s major medical and academic institutions along a familiar route.

Lake Shore Park offers a running track, tennis courts, and recreation space, while the Museum of Contemporary Art and Navy Pier bring art, dining, events, and the lakefront into the same part of the city.

CTA buses run through the Streeterville medical district, with connections toward Ogilvie Transportation Center and Union Station. Red Line stations at Grand and Chicago provide access beyond the neighborhood. Use the map below to plan your route by transit, car, bike, or on foot.
