Loyola is a station on the Chicago Transit Authority's 'L'system,
served by the Red Line.
It is located at 1200 West Loyola Avenue (directional coordinates 6550 north,
1200 west) in the Rogers Park neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois.
The station sees heavy use by students from its nearby namesake, the
Lakeshore Campus of Loyola University Chicago.
The Red Line right-of-way runs directly through the southwest corner of the campus.
This is the third station at this location; the original opened in 1908 and was rebuilt in
1921, the current station was built in 1982. The entrance to the original station was
on Loyola Avenue, but the new station's entrance is technically on the west side of
Sheridan Road, ideally situated across the street from a heavily-used Loyola campus entrance.
On Loyola Avenue, there is still a passageway leading to the turnstiles as well as an exit-only
rotorgate. The station is accessible to those with disabilities.
