The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is situated within the twin cities of Champaign and Urbana. Some campus buildings are in one city and some in the other, with Wright Street acting as the dividing line between the two. Just remember, if you are east of Wright Street, you are in Urbana and, likewise, if you are west of Wright Street, you are in Champaign. Some streets such as University Avenue run continuously between both cities, however the numbering system changes at the border, and some street names change as well. Therefore, you will want to be aware of the city as well as the exact street address when looking for a specific building. In this Guide, "U" indicates Urbana and "C" indicates Champaign.
All Urbana and Champaign phone numbers begin with the area code (217).
