[ Illinois Institute of Technology : McCormick-Tribune Campus Center ]

Holabird & Root completed the feasibility study, programming and planning for the 85,000-s.f. facility. Based on the program and Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas' design, Holabird & Root, in a joint venture with Office for Metropolitan Architecture, also executed the design for the new Center. A 600-ft. long steel and concrete tube encloses the section of elevated train running above the facility to shield the center from the noise and vibration of the train.
