Meals in the Fermilab Village Houses/Dorms

The houses and dorms have fully equipped kitchens. For transportation to the grocery store 1.5 miles from the village, most residents walk, find a ride with a fellow village resident, have food delivered, or take an Uber. Residents can bring bicycles to the village, as well, helmets are required onsite. The route makes for a pleasant walk (if residents are able).   

Food Deliveries to the Fermilab Site

Food can be delivered to Wilson Hall and the Fermilab Village from outside the lab.  If you order food from off site, you should contact security at ‭(630) 840-3414‬ to notify them of the delivery. 

Options for ordering food from offsite:
• You can use an app like "Instacart" that allows you to order groceries from many nearby stores, supermarkets and pharmacies. 
• UberEats service is available
• This grocery store is a 1.7 mile walk from Fermilab village - Tom's Market, 2S501 Illinois Rte 59, Warrenville, IL 60555, United States
