Douglas Hall, University building in West Loop, Chicago, US
Douglas Hall features three lecture halls arranged around a central courtyard, with custom seating walls and native plant landscaping at 705 South Morgan Street.
The building continues the legacy of the original Douglas Hall from 1856, which was part of the Old University of Chicago established through Stephen Douglas's land donation.
The building design incorporates outdoor learning spaces and social interaction areas, reflecting modern approaches to university education and student engagement.
Students access specialized lecture halls, collaboration spaces, and outdoor study areas through carefully planned circulation paths connecting different sections of the building.
