Teaching on the Cutting Edge of Design

University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Chancellor Robert Jones and local academic and civic leaders recently broke ground on a new Campus Instructional Facility that is meant to celebrate the cooperation between architecture and engineering.

The structure celebrates how architecture and engineering work together and is meant to enhance such collaboration. Designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP (SOM), the building will have flexible, open spaces for learning. It also will include collaboration spaces that will be flexible enough to meet the evolving needs of the university community.
