	Rem Koolhaas - McCormick Tribune Campus Center :: arcspace.com
		The McCormick Tribune Campus Center is located at the historic 120-acre (50-hectare) campus of the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) in Chicago.
		The campus, designed by Mies van der Rohe who became the head of IIT's architecture program in 1938, after the closure of the Bauhaus, is bordered by an expressway and divided in half by the elevated trains.
		The new Campus Center includes two primary components: A 10,690 square meter, one-story building, sheathed in metal and glass, and a 161 meter (530 feet) long stainless steel tube that sits directly above the building’s roof, significantly muffling the noise and vibration generated by passing trains.

		The $48.2 million Campus Center includes two primary components: a 110,000-square-foot, one-story building to serve a wide variety of student activity functions; and a 530-foot-long stainless steel clad tube that sits directly above the building’s roof, designed to significantly muffle the noise and vibration generated by passing Chicago Transit Authority commuter trains.
		Inside, the Campus Center boasts an array of architectural and design innovations not seen anywhere in the world: transparent and opaque glass walls, unique floor and ceiling finishes, customized graphic elements and a contoured, concrete roof to accommodate the bottom of the cylindrical tube.
		State Street Village and The McCormick Tribune Campus Center are the first new buildings to be constructed on the IIT Main Campus in nearly 40 years.

		The Main Campus of Illinois Institute of Technology is an outstanding example of the work of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (1886-1969), architect and educator and one of the 20th century's most influential architects.
		The McCormick Tribune Campus Center, designed by Dutch architect and Pritzker Prize Laureate Rem Koolhaas opened its doors in October 2003 at 33rd and State Streets, in the heart of the Main Campus.

		The campus center proper couldn't be started until the $13.6-million tube had been completed, and much of the work on the tube could only take place between midnight and 5 a.m., when trains weren't running.
		The campus center itself cost $34.6-million and ended up at 110,000 square feet, after several features were subtracted to keep the price tag down.
		The campus center is only one story high, although the food court, the faculty dining area, the auditorium, and the ballroom are all set well below grade.

	Repeat Writings on Architecture - Oedipus Rem - Rem Koolhaas's IIT McCormick Tribune Student Center
		The Tube was completed last year, and inside the Campus Center the sound of the “L” is barely audible, though north of the structure the trains still drown out conversation.
		Koolhaas says that though the scale of the center is “very modest” compared to Crown Hall, the orange of his building “somehow brings out the color in the Mies building also-not only by contrast, but also by raising the issue of color.
		For the Campus Center he chose translucent Panelite for the countertops in the cafe, for the tables in the study carrels that overlook the Mies courtyard, and, most strikingly, for the walls of the freestanding, amoeba-shaped washroom that sits just inside the entrance, opaque enough, alas, to preclude any anatomical shadow puppets.

		The McCormick Tribune Campus Center may be beautiful, bold and breathtaking because of its colors, materials and optical illusions, but that's not why it received the 2004 Build America Merit Award.
		The Campus Center's most distinct components are its aesthetic beauty that's designed to awe its visitors and the engineering muscle of an acoustical tube that's intended to tame the noise of Chicago's much-traveled Green Line.

	1999 Pulitzer Prizes-CRITICISM, Works
		But now that Rotterdam architect Rem Koolhaas has won the international competition for a new campus center at the Illinois Institute of Technology, such an outcome finally is within reach--if and only if Koolhaas can translate a brilliant idea into a finished building that upholds the Chicago tradition of elevating construction into art.
		Tall enough at 6-foot-5 to be an NBA small forward, witty enough to be a talk-show quipster, the 53-year-old Koolhaas has rocketed to superstar status on the basis of books and buildings that articulate a vision for the post-industrial city that is equal parts chaotic and erotic.
		By condensing the elements of a traditional downtown into a single building, the campus center promises to be a bustling indoor city, bursting with color and life.

		Koohaas's campus center, in contrast, revels in this environment yet establishes its own identity on a campus where it is hard to tell one building from another.
		The campus center incorporates the existing Commons Building, where dining areas are located.

		An exhibition of his work, "The McCormick Tribune Campus Center--As Built," opens on Monday, September 22 at North Core, S.R. Crown Hall, 3360 S. State, and continues until October 10.
		And the solution, a freestanding sound-insulation tube around the El tracks, seems to force its weight down into the Campus Center, like a metallic whale, pressuring it into a hive of activity, while the exterior form of the building is squeezed outward, in its angular, building-like way.
