McCormick Tribune Campus Center, Educational center at Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago, United States
The McCormick Tribune Campus Center spans 10,690 square meters beneath elevated metro tracks, featuring a stainless steel tube structure for noise reduction.
Architect Rem Koolhaas won an international competition in 1997 to design this center, which opened in 2003 to connect residential and academic zones.
The building incorporates circular icons designed by Michael Rock, including an 18-foot portrait of architect Mies van der Rohe on western facade doors.
The center houses a bookstore, food court, coffee shop, meeting spaces, radio station, copy center, computer areas, and an auditorium for student activities.
Student movement patterns across campus determined the internal walkway layout, creating diagonal routes instead of traditional straight paths through the building.
