State of Illinois Building

A dark basement area is where you must go to deal with license plates. A quick trip will do the deed, if you arrive prepared with all requisite paper !
Driver licenses and state IDs are issued in a separate area that always has a long line snaking through!
There’s a food court in the basement.
There are shops on the ground floor.
A mini Post Office is available.
The CTA el station closest to the building is the Clark-​Lake station. A major transfer hub!
Interesting architecture to the building!

Also known as the Bilandic Building, this place occasionally hosts public input meetings for committees like the Educational Facilities Task Force and the Regional Transportation Task Force.
These meetings are completely open to the public. And while you’re certainly not required to participate or speak, if you do, your voice will definitely be taken into account as they work to reshape policies on important issues like education.
This building is just west of the Clark/​Lake el stop, and all you need to do to get inside is show an ID and walk through a security scanner.
