IIT Mies Dormitories

 

iit mies dormitories.

Chicago, IL

A phased renovation of three 75,000 sq. ft. Mies van der Rohe-designed towers on the IIT campus that reside more than 700 students. The adaptive reuse process meant that the existing facades were rebuilt, and the interiors updated by combining Miesian design principles and new high-performance systems.
