NARCON Location

NOTE: The directions on this page assumes that you are able to find your way to either Milwaukee or Chicago. If you need additional assistance, please contact the NARCON Director.

THE LOCATION

NARCON 2005 is being held at Molinaro Hall at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside campus, located to the northwest of downtown Kenosha. The campus covers nearly 700 acres and is a showplace of mature oak and maple forest, restored prairie, waterways and wildlife habitats.
When arriving, you may take Inner Loop Road and unload in the area between Molinaro Hall and the Union. Parking is in the lot shown on the map below.

GETTING THERE: Driving Directions

From the Marriott: Turn east on Washington, go 1.1 miles to South Green Bay Road and turn right. Total drive distance on this road is about 4.8 miles; but when you cross 1st Street, S. Green Bay Road becomes just plain Green Bay Road. Turn left on 7th Street, go another 1.4 miles to Wood and turn right.

It has been brought to our attention that the driving directions as originally stated on the website are a bit confusing, though essentially correct. This confusion is due to County Road A making a jog to the south when it crosses Highway 31. Amended directions are as follows:

From the north/Milwaukee: Take I-94 east toward Chicago and exit east onto County Road E. After approximately 5 miles you will see UWP on your left. Stay on E until you get all the way to Wood Street (Hwy G) and turn left (north). Inner Loop Road and Outer Loop Road will be on your left, with parking available in the indicated lot on Outer Loop.

From the south/Chicago: Take I-94 west toward Milwaukee and exit east onto County Road E. After approximately 5 miles you will see UWP on your left. Stay on E until you get all the way to Wood Street (Hwy G) and turn left (north). Inner Loop Road and Outer Loop Road will be on your left, with parking available in the indicated lot on Outer Loop.

OTHER OPTIONS

For those of you flying in, the Marriott advertises bus service from Mitchell Airport to the hotel. Call ahead to verify and make arrangements.
Amtrak and Greyhound each have a transfer point nearby, both of which are connected to the hotel and UWP by the Racine Belle Urban Bus System.
