"Recent projects show us how useful these high-rise buildings have become. They are more than just tall offices—they are hubs where students live, learn, and work together.

Roosevelt University — Wabash Building (Chicago, IL)

"1945: Edward “Jim” Sparling, president of Central YMCA College in Chicago, resigned after the school’s board asked him to put together a census of the student body that included race and religion. Believing the census would lead to racial discrimination, 62 faculty members followed him. They created together a new school — Roosevelt College — named after recently deceased President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Now the school is known as Roosevelt University."

"The Roosevelt team included Lissette Zarco, Theresa Jurgus, Kenya Hunter, Brittany Pointer and Eliseo Elizarraraz.

Student teams from across the nation presented their redevelopment plans for an 8-acre section, incorporating the 22,000-seat, open-air stadium and hospitality offerings that the Chicago Fire FC’s new stadium will bring to The 78."
