DETAILS: NLU will move Evanston Campus to 5202 Old Orchard Drive
When students at National-Louis University’s Evanston/Wilmette campus filled out university planning surveys, they asked for better parking, updated computer labs and classrooms, and easier access to registration, student services, the cashier and financial aid assistance. That’s exactly what students can expect when the University relocates programs in July 2006 from 2840 Sheridan Road in Evanston to the new, state-of-the-art Old Orchard Campus at 5202 Old Orchard Road in Skokie.
