Safely Check In
All visitors to the Foundation’s offices are required to safely check in and provide specific information, in accordance with our visitor policy.
This information will be collected using an automated questionnaire, either when you pre-register online or in person at our reception desk. If you check-in in person, you will have the option to use a tablet device, provided by the Foundation, or to scan a QR code and respond to the questionnaire on your own device. Before your arrival, please ensure you can provide the information below and respond to the attestations:
- Name
- Email Address
- Organization
- Meeting Host
If you answer “No” to any of these questions, you will not be admitted to the Foundation offices. In the event of not being admitted, please contact your MacArthur Foundation host to determine next steps.
Plan Your Route
If arriving by car, there is no onsite parking in front of the Marquette Building. One of the closest and more convenient parking garages is located at 17 E. Adams Street, Chicago, IL 60603. Travel to the Foundation can easily be accomplished through public transportation (bus, train, commuter rail) using the Chicago Transit Authority or Metra Rail trip planner tools.
