The Southeast Campus/New Music Building Study Committee


The Committee's vision was to create a new gateway into the campus and enhance the area as a cultural resource for the University and the larger community; to create a new identity for the district through creation of an iconic open space that would become its heart; and to identify a site for a new Music building that would be a catalyst for a "music village" to complement the existing program and create an environment for the development of great musicians. Some of the goals were: to preserve and enhance the views of the lake and to downtown Chicago; to clarify and improve pedestrian and vehicular circulation; to provide for future increased parking capacity; to enhance the character and usability of the shoreline; and to optimize the future building capacity of the SE campus;
