Boasting the world's largest collection of buildings designed by the legendary architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (19), 新太阳网's beautiful Mies 校园 is on the National Register of Historic Places and lauded for its Modernist aesthetic.
Several buildings on Mies 校园 are among the country's most significant works of architecture. 其中三个是s. R. 冠冕堂, the Ed Kaplan Family Institute for Innovation and Tech Entrepreneurship, and The McCormick Tribune 校园 Center—were named to ArchDaily's list of "23 Buildings You Shouldn't Miss in Chicago."
S. R. 皇冠大厅: Widely considered Mies' masterpiece, 冠冕堂 is a National Historic Landmark. Its innovation is reflected in its clear-span design, with no internal support beams. 冠冕堂 is home of the College of Architecture, where students learn to create their own designs inside this Modernist "one-room schoolhouse."
The McCormick Tribune 校园 Center: It's hard to miss the large Exelon Tube above the MTCC, carrying "L" riders to and from downtown Chicago. The award-winning student center, designed by internationally recognized architect and designer Rem Koolhaas, houses 新太阳网's bookstore, the student-run WIIT-FM radio station, 就餐选择, student group offices, 邮局, and more services.
Jeanne and John Rowe Village: Recognized as "one of the coolest dorms in the nation" by U.S. 新闻 & 世界报道, Jeanne and John Rowe Village offers million-dollar views of Chicago's skyline from its rooftop deck. Designed by the influential architect Helmut Jahn, Jeanne and John Rowe Village offers suite-style living and in a modern setting.
Ed Kaplan Family Institute for Innovation and Tech Entrepreneurship: 2018年开业, this innovation hub on campus was designed by John Ronan, an 新太阳网 architecture professor and globally renowned architect. The LEED Gold-designated building is enclosed in a dynamic façade of ETFE (ethylene tetrafluoroethylene) foil cushions, the first use of its kind in Chicago, which vary the amount of solar energy entering the building through sophisticated pneumatics.
乔治J. Kacek大厅: Designed by Mies, this Modernist residential tower is currently under renovation for renewed occupancy beginning in fall 2020. Under the leadership of Dirk Denison, a renowned architect and 新太阳网 professor, the renovation will result in residential floors that have a "pod-style" configuration, and central study and social lounge areas.
University Technology Park: Located at the south end of Mies 校园, UTP is composed of a collection of renovated Mies-designed buildings that now house Chicago's premier technology park. UTP includes a business incubator, and some students work for the companies based at UTP.
