Armour Institute of Technology and Lewis Institute, the academic predecessors of IIT, were founded in the 1890s with missions to educate first-generation Americans of modest means and social position. In 1890, when advanced education was often reserved for society's elite, Chicago minister Frank Wakely Gunsaulus delivered what came to be known as the "Million Dollar Sermon." From the pulpit of his South Side church, near the site IIT now occupies, Gunsaulus said that with a million dollars he could build a school where students of all backgrounds could prepare for meaningful roles in a changing industrial society. Inspired by Gunsaulus' vision, meatpacking entrepreneur Philip Danforth Armour, Sr. (1832-1901) gave $1 million to found Armour Institute. When Armour Institute opened in 1893, the institute offered professional courses in engineering, chemistry, architecture and library science. The estate of hardware merchant and investor Allen C. Lewis, who envisioned a “school where men and women could secure an education to fit them for their life-work and to be a service to their community and a credit to their country”, established Lewis Institute in 1895. Lewis Institute was located on the west side of Chicago and offered liberal arts as well as science and engineering courses. By the 1920s, both institutions were recognized for producing highly qualified engineers, scientists, and business leaders who made valuable contributions to Chicago’s economic development. The depression dealt a hard blow to each institution, leading their boards to effect the merger of Armour Institute with Lewis Institute in 1940, creating Illinois Institute of Technology. This merger strategically repositioned IIT to support a growing economy and the emerging technologies of World War II. The new IIT played a major role in the education of officers for the war effort, which led to the development of extensive ROTC programs in the post- war era. With the creation of the GI Bill at the close of World War II, university enrollment soared between 1945 and1960, preparing thousands of young men and women for leadership roles in the rapid expansion of the post-war economy. The Armour Research Foundation, known today as IIT Research Institute, also expanded rapidly to meet military research needs. During this period, IIT faculty members and alumni made many important contributions to the modern economy, including the cell phone, Linksys, Pentium chip, electro-optical night vision equipment and magnetic recording. Between 1949 and 1969, the university expanded its academic programs by adding design, law, and business to its existing programs in engineering, science, architecture, and psychology. The Institute of Design, founded in 1937 as the New Bauhaus by Lazlo Moholy- Nagy, merged with IIT in 1949. The Institute of Design has grown into the largest full-time graduate-only highly specialized design program in the U.S., with students from around the world. In 1969, IIT became one of the few technology-based universities with a law school when Chicago-Kent College of Law, founded in 1887, became an integral part of the university. Stuart School of Business was added in 1969, with a gift from the estate of Lewis Institute alumnus and Chicago financier Harold Leonard Stuart. Midwest College of Engineering, founded in 1967, joined the university in 1986, forming the nucleus for IIT's Rice Campus in west suburban Wheaton. The Center for Professional Development was established in 2002 to consolidate and focus our continuing education and technology programs. This mix of colleges, institutes, schools and centers reflects our continuing evolution in response to the needs of society and industry. Institutional Support and Commitment to Continuous Improvement 1 - 1 Today, IIT is a private, Ph.D.-granting research and teaching university with 7,738 students enrolled in undergraduate and graduate programs including programs in engineering, science, psychology, architecture, business, design and law. One of the 16 institutions that comprise the Association of Independent Technological Universities (AITU), IIT offers exceptional preparation for professions that require technological sophistication. Through a committed faculty and close personal attention, IIT provides a challenging academic program focused by the rigor of the real world. IIT is currently comprised of 9 colleges and institutions, one research incubator and 30 research centers and institutes. Armour College of Engineering Chicago-Kent College of Law College of Architecture College of Psychology College of Science and Letters Institute of Design Institute for Food Safety and Health School of Applied Technology Stuart School of Business University Technology Park By the end of the twentieth century, as more community colleges and public universities began to attract first-generation students, administrators and the Board of Trustees recognized the need to reevaluate the university’s mission and role in higher education. In 1993, President Lewis Collens and the university’s Board of Trustees convened The National Commission for IIT to ensure preparedness to meet the educational and research needs of the 21st century. Against a backdrop of fiscal challenges, The National Commission recommended a bold agenda for increasing institutional quality, rebuilding the university’s Main Campus, and creating a new inter- professional program to differentiate the university in an increasingly competitive higher education market. The National Commission members, led by Trustees Robert Galvin and Robert Pritzker, helped shape the recommendations for increased quality and renewal of Main Campus. In 1996, Robert Galvin and Robert Pritzker each committed $60 million to the $250 Million IIT Challenge Campaign that launched the implementation of The National Commission recommendations. Since1995, responding to the National Commission recommendations, IIT has significantly expanded its national and international undergraduate recruiting base. The current undergraduate student body now reflects this strategic effort. 21% of the 2012 freshman class are from other states and territories, and 16 percent are international students representing 66 nations (as identified by country of citizenship). Among the undergraduates, 93 percent are full-time students and 59 percent live on campus. IIT is currently a member of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) and the Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference (CCAC). In fall 2012, IIT will enter the “exploratory” year of transition to NCAA Division III competition. This move is directly related to increasing IIT’s stature by competing with peer institutions and improving the quality of campus life through a commitment to growing the athletic programs of the university. The university has five campuses in the city of Chicago and surrounding suburbs. Main Campus is located 3 miles south of the Chicago Loop on 120 acres that were redeveloped

Michigan Ave. (1928; Holabird & Roche/Holabird & Root) The 333 NORTH MICHIGAN BUILDING is one of the city's most outstanding Art Deco-style skyscrapers. It is one of four buildings surrounding the Michigan A venue Bridge that defines one of the city' s-and nation' s-finest urban spaces. The building's base is sheathed in polished granite, in shades of black and purple. Its upper stories, which are set back in dramatic fashion to correspond to the city's 1923 zoning ordinance, are clad in buff-colored limestone and dark terra cotta. The building's prominence is heightened by its unique site. Due to the jog of Michigan Avenue at the bridge, the building is visible the length of North Michigan Avenue, appearing to be located in the center of the street. ABOVE: The 333 North Michigan Building was one of the first skyscrapers to take advantage of the city's 1923 zoning ordinance, which encouraged the construction of buildings with setback towers. This photograph was taken from the cupola of the London Guarantee Building. COVER: A 1933 illustration, looking south on Michigan Avenue.

  • Social Media and Popular Places: the Case of Chicago Kheir Al-Kodmany†
    International Journal of High-Rise Buildings International Journal of June 2019, Vol 8, No 2, 125-136 High-Rise Buildings https://doi.org/10.21022/IJHRB.2019.8.2.125 www.ctbuh-korea.org/ijhrb/index.php Social Media and Popular Places: The Case of Chicago Kheir Al-Kodmany† Department of Urban Planning and Policy, University of Illinois at Chicago, USA Abstract This paper offers new ways to learn about popular places in the city. Using locational data from Social Media platforms platforms, including Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, along with participatory field visits and combining insights from architecture and urban design literature, this study reveals popular socio-spatial clusters in the City of Chicago. Locational data of photographs were visualized by using Geographic Information Systems and helped in producing heat maps that showed the spatial distribution of posted photographs. Geo-intensity of photographs illustrated areas that are most popularly visited in the city. The study’s results indicate that the city’s skyscrapers along open spaces are major elements of image formation. Findings also elucidate that Social Media plays an important role in promoting places; and thereby, sustaining a greater interest and stream of visitors. Consequently, planners should tap into public’s digital engagement in city places to improve tourism and economy. Keywords: Social media, Iconic socio-spatial clusters, Popular places, Skyscrapers 1. Introduction 1.1. Sustainability: A Theoretical Framework The concept of sustainability continues to be of para- mount importance to our cities (Godschalk & Rouse, 2015). Planners, architects, economists, environmentalists, and politicians continue to use the term in their conver- sations and writings.

  • Honorary Membership Nomination Narrative Nominee: Carol Ross Barney, FAIA Nominee's Address: Ross Barney Architects, 1
    Honorary Membership Nomination Narrative Nominee: Carol Ross Barney, FAIA Nominee’s Address: Ross Barney Architects, 10 West Hubbard Street City / State / Zip: Chicago, Illinois 60654 Phone: 312‐897‐0600 Nominator: Terry Warriner Ryan, FASLA Carol Ross Barney, FAIA, has been in the vanguard of civic space design since founding Ross Barney Architects in 1981. With a career that spans over 40 years, Carol has made significant contributions to the built environment, the profession, and architectural education. As an architect, urbanist, mentor, and educator, she has relentlessly advocated that excellent design is a right, not a privilege. Her body of work represents this ethos and occupies a unique place within the panorama of contemporary architecture, being exclusively composed of work in the public realm. Attending the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign, Carol received a Bachelor of Architecture degree in 1971. A week after graduation, Carol and her husband, Alan Barney, a botanist, embarked on their assignment with the United States Peace Corps. Working with the fledgling Costa Rican National Park Service, their mission was to assist in the protection and preservation of Costa Rica’s amazingly diverse and threatened ecology. Carol’s projects included a master plan for coral reef protection at Parque Nacional Cahuita, restoration of the historic hacienda at Parque Nacional Santa Rosa, and worker housing at Parque Nacional Volcan Poas. Following her service in the Peace Corps, Carol joined a few notable Chicago firms before venturing out on her own. Here is where Carol was able to uphold a deep commitment to the role the built environment plays in life quality.

  • Friends of the Chicago River
    Information on Friends for Volunteers Friends of the Chicago River was founded in 1979 after a Chicago Magazine article asserted the Chicago River had no friends and needed a champion to save it from pollution, abuse and neglect. As a result, 100 people reached out, planned a meeting and Friends of the Chicago River was born. Early on, Friends concentrated on calling attention to the river through advocacy, canoe trips (considered radical in the 80s), and mapping, believing a healthy Chicago River system could be a catalyst for community development. Friends’ work has evolved and expanded since then. The Education & Outreach team reaches the public through the Chicago River Schools Network, the Chicago River Bridgehouse Museum, and the canoe program. On the Ground work restores habitat for catfish, turtles, bats and osprey. The Policy and Planning team works on systemic river improvements overseeing riverfront development, invasive species strategy and water quality standards. Chicago River Day started in 1992 by a group of 25 feisty river advocates. This beloved volunteer day has an immediate impact and collectively brings about long-term improvements to the health of the Chicago River. Trash is not only ugly, it has a serious negative impact on the health and well-being of wildlife. Animals ingest trash, become entangled in it, and are injured by it. The Chicago River system is no longer a forgotten river filled with sewage and trash. Today, the river is vibrant wildlife corridor, accessible, and alive with people and wildlife including over 70 species of fish, countless species of birds, and a host of beavers, mink and turtles.
