  • Parking Instructions

    When visiting the Laura A. Sprague Gallery or the Joliet Junior College Theatre, we would like to assist you in finding the closest parking lot. Upon entering the college campus area either via Houbolt Road or Richard T. Rivera Way, there will be signs on your right-hand side for the different areas of campus. Following the green sign labeled the North Building, with the J-building on it, you will turn right onto William Glasscock Drive. When following this road to the J-building, you will see a parking lot labeled N3. We recommend parking here for the closest entrance to the building.

    Once here, upon entering the building, the Laura A. Sprague Gallery will be to your immediate left. Walking further in on the right-hand side just a handful of feet will be the Joliet Junior College Theatre. 

    We can't wait to see you for our next event!
