Shower options in Chicago Loop other than McDonald's Cycle Center?

I'm in a new building that doesnt' have a shower and I'm kind of freaking out. Any ideas? Southwest loop is best, hence that's why I'm not interested in Millenium Park. Thanks!

if you can't find a shower near work/school there are other options if you have access to at least a private bathroom for 10-15 minutes ...

Sink, Sponge, + mop for the floor. ..

maybe stand on the Toilet bowl edge when you pour water over your head.. for some of the runoff to go in there..

I just towel off and let myself cool down for 15-20 minutes in the office A/C before I change into my work clothes. If I'm really stinky "down there", I'll use an unscented wipe, but it's only when the temps hit the high 80s or 90s that I need to do that.

I use "Comfort Personal Cleansing - Complete care washcloths". They are like thick wipes of some sort, idk, they were on sale at my work pharmacy....I have a shower, but not always time...they seem to do a very good job of cleaning and smelling fresh.

Edit: Here is a link. Apparently they are mainly used by people who have had surgery and can't shower or something, haha...but they work perfectly for waterless shower.
