· 4 min read · Viking Square, Gurnee, IL
Whether you're coming for a tour or planning what your future clients' trips will look like, here's everything about reaching Viking Square Professional Center at 4343 Old Grand Avenue, Gurnee, IL 60031.
Driving directions
- From I-94 (Chicago, the North Shore, or Wisconsin):exit at Grand Avenue / Route 132 and head west. Old Grand Avenue branches off Grand Avenue west of the interchange — follow it and the building is at 4343, near Viking Middle School. You're at the door within minutes of leaving the tollway.
- From Waukegan and eastern Lake County: take Grand Avenue (Route 132) west into Gurnee, then continue onto Old Grand Avenue — about a 10–15 minute drive.
- From Libertyville, Grayslake, and central Lake County:O'Plaine Road or Route 21 (Milwaukee Avenue) north to the Grand Avenue corridor, roughly 15 minutes.
- From Kenosha County: I-94 south to the Grand Avenue exit — typically around 25 minutes.
The simplest option: open the address in Google Maps and let it route you — the I-94/Route 132 interchange usually makes drive times shorter than people expect.
Parking
Parking is free, on-site, and steps from the entrance — no garage, no validation, no street hunting. That sounds mundane until you compare it with a hospital campus or a downtown office: for a practice whose patients visit weekly, parking friction is a real retention factor, and here there is none. There's comfortable capacity for staff and visitors at the same time.
Building access & accessibility
- First-floor suites: most available suites — including the medical suite, the turnkey clinical suite, and the private office — are on the first floor, with step-free access from the parking lot.
- Elevator: the building has elevator service to the second floor, where the 1,100 SF open suite is located.
- Private entrances: several suites have their own private or staff doors in addition to the main building corridor — useful for deliveries, staff arrivals, and discreet client entry.
Public transit
Pace Route 565 runs along the Grand Avenue corridor between the Waukegan Metra station (Union Pacific North Line) and Gurnee Mills, with posted stops along Grand Avenue a short distance from the building — check pacebus.com for the current schedule and nearest stop. Most staff and clients in this part of Lake County drive, but it's worth knowing the bus link exists for employees commuting from Waukegan.
