JOB NAME:
University of Chicago Logan Center for Arts
LOCATION:
Chicago, IL
ARCHITECT:
Tod Williams Billie Tsien Architects
JOB DESCRIPTION:
The Logan Center’s tower rises 11 stories high, making it one of the tallest buildings on campus. While the horizontal stone slabs, large glass openings, and cantilevered protrusions distinguish the Logan Center from its Gothic counterparts across the Midway, Williams and Tsien established continuity by incorporating limestone and incredible height into the design, mirroring the appearance of some of the University’s oldest buildings. Situated on the south side of the Midway, the Logan Center overlooks nearly the entirety of the University campus.
