Illinois Institute of Technology Summary

The following paragraph provided courtesy of wikipedia.

Coordinates: 41.834654° N 87.628326° W Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) is a private Ph.D. granting university with programs in engineering, science, psychology, architecture, business, communications, journalism, design and law. The campus of another four-year college, Vandercook College of Music, is located on IIT’s Main Campus. Shimer College, located in Waukegan, Illinois, decided to relocate at least some of its operations to IIT’s Main Campus in Fall 2006, inhabiting one of the former Institute of Gas Technology buildings. IIT’s Main Campus comprises about ten city blocks in the Bronzeville neighborhood of Chicago, approximately three miles south of the Loop and just east of U.S. Cellular Field (originally Comiskey Park). The CTA Green Line elevated trains run north and south through campus, and pass through the Exelon Tube, which is part of the McCormick Tribune Campus Center. East of State Street are mostly student-oriented buildings, including residence halls, fraternity and sorority houses, the campus center, student health and counseling offices, IIT Public Safety, and athletic facilities. The academic structure is as follows: Armour College of Engineering College of Architecture College of Science and Letters Institute of Psychology Center for Professional Development Chicago-Kent College of Law Institute of Design Stuart School of Business One of IIT’s predecessor institutions, Armour Institute of Technology, was founded in 1890 with a gift from Philip Danforth Armour, Sr., a prominent Chicago meat packer and grain merchant. In fact, it was Armour’s campus that became the permanent home of the new school, and Lewis’ campus was used as a civic building by the City of Chicago before the campus was leveled and the United Center eventually constructed. As one of the first American universities to host a Navy V-12 program during World War II, the school saw a large increase in students and, as a result, had to expand the Armour campus beyond its original seven acres. Mies was given the task of designing a completely new campus, and the result was a spacious, open, 120 acre campus set in contrast to the busy, crowded urban neighborhood around it. IIT was the home of many research organizations, including IIT Research Institute, formerly Armour Research Foundation and birthplace of magnetic recording wire and tape and both audio and video cassettes, as well as the Institute for Gas Technology and American Association of Railroads, among others. Three colleges merged with IIT after the 1940 merger of Armour and Lewis: Institute of Design (ID) in 1946, Chicago-Kent College of Law in 1969, and Midwest College of Engineering in 1986. IIT’s Stuart School of Business was founded by a gift from Lewis Institute alumnus Harold Leonard Stuart in the 1960s, and joined Chicago-Kent at IIT’s Downtown Campus in 1992; It is now part of the school, but remains on Main Campus.) The Institute of Design, once housed on the Main Campus in S.R. Enrollment and financial decline from the mid-1970s through the early 1990s threatened the school so much that in 1994, the National Commission on IIT considered leaving the Mies campus behind and moving to the Chicago suburbs. Bolstered by a $120 million gift in the mid-1990s from IIT alum Robert Pritzker, chairman of IIT’s Board of Trustees, and Robert Galvin, former chairman of the board and former Motorola executive, the university is in the midst of a physical renovation and revitalization campaign for the Main Campus. The first new buildings on the Main Campus since the “completion” of the Mies Campus in the early 1970s were finished in 2003 -Rem Koolhaas’s McCormick Tribune Campus Center and Helmut Jahn’s State Street Village. To further boost this focus on biotechnology and the melding of business and technology, University Technology Park At IITis being developed, by remodeling former Institute of Gas Technology and research buildings on the south end of the Main Campus. On the west side of the Main Campus are three red brick buildings that were original to Armour Institute, built between 1891 and 1901. Though Mies had emphasized his wish to complete the campus he had begun, commissions from the late 50s onward were given to Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill (SOM), prompting Mies to never return to the campus that had changed architecture the world over. By the late 1960s, campus addition projects were given to SOM’s Myron Goldsmith, who had worked with Mies during his education at IIT and so was able to design several new buildings to harmonize well with the original campus. In 1976, the American Institute of Architects recognized the campus as one of the 200 most significant works of architecture in the U.S. A new campus center, designed by Rem Koolhaas, and a new state-of-the-art residence hall, State Street Village, designed by Helmut Jahn, opened in 2003, the first new buildings built on the Main Campus in 32 years, partly due to the difficulty entailed in adding on to an architecturally significant campus without detracting from the campus’s character. The Athletic Department is one of the few IIT departments which uses “Illinois Tech” instead of “IIT,” and has done so since the beginning of IIT in 1940.
