PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The University of Illinois at Chicago envisioned a campus expansion that encompassed more than just academic facility growth.
The creation of an “around-the-clock” university village was conceived as a functioning Chicago neighborhood consisting of for-sale housing, student apartments, urban parks, retail, academic facilities and historic sites. The City of Chicago, UIC and neighborhood residents worked together to allow for the purchase and development of property along with the preservation and relocation of many historic buildings. The university’s investment in Chicago’s vitality is a brilliant investment in the college’s own future and may become a model for cooperative public and private development at other urban institutions across the nation.
