Getting to the Law Library

Entrance Information

Louis L. Biro Law Library:

The Louis L. Biro Law Library is located on the 6th, 9th, and 10th floors of the UIC Law building at 300 South State Street. Currently, the only entrance to the building is at 300 South State Street and does not have any associated stairs.

  • The accessible entrance to the building is the right-most of the doors when facing the entrance on State Street. A push-button approximately 3 feet high to the right of the door opens the door into a small entryway, where another push-button at the same height on the right side of the next door in the entryway opens into the main part of the building.
  • The elevators that lead to the library are separated from the building entrance by four electronic gates. The gates closest to and farthest from the security station are approximately 3 feet wide, while the interior gates are about 2 feet wide.
  • If the above entrances do not accommodate you, please reach out to a librarian to make an alternative arrangement to enter the building.
  • The elevators across from these gates can be taken to the 6th, 9th, or 10th floors.
