The deadline for Phase II of the competition of the New Engineering Science Building at UC was 12/30, I believe. I don't know who all of the shortlisted teams are, but one of the designs I have seen so far is very impressive, and quite unique for the University, while still maintaining a lot of features, textures and materials that the campus is known for. It will be interesting to see all of the designs, for what the University is considering a 'game-changing' development. The new building will be pretty massive, possibly close to 500,000 sq ft.

Notably, it will facilitate the expansion of the 'Molecular Engineering department' (read applied science) to over 100 faculty. That kind of expansion will put the number of the PME's applied science and engineering faculty at a level on par with the PSD and BSD, which will represent pretty significant departure from the University's traditional approach of research. |

Hearing whispers from friends that the university just decided on an architecture firm. They don't know who, but the firm was recently on a tour of the ERC labs and the target completion date is 2025

Edit: just found out a winner has NOT been selected yet - there is still the next phase of pre-selection, which includes interviewing the finalists, set to occur within the next 3-4 weeks. |

Wait is the New Engineering Science Building a separate project from the Cancer building? Sounds like it, which means two 500,000 sq ft buildings coming soon?

The new engineering building will be on the SW corner of Ellis and 56th and will be closer to 700,000 SF, while the new cancer hospital will be on a vacant lot at 57th and Drexel. |
Here is a link to the new cancer hospital on the state Health Facilities site.
https://www2.illinois.gov/sites/hfsr...---22-004.aspx I was pretty sure this was going to happen several months ago when the university announced renovating Mitchel was too expensive. It's also a return to the hospital's master plan from several years ago which announced a separate cancer hospital before the temporary detour of trying to upgrade Mitchell. (Link to the master plan is posted earlier on this site as is the link to the decision to not upgrade Mitchell.) |

1) New Cancer Hospital 2) New Science / Engineering Building 3) Megadorm (yep, one more dorm coming) 4) rec center (this was originally part of the new parking garage on 61st street. Since it appears it's no longer part of it, the University must have something on the back burner to address the rec center need for South Campus and the greatly expanded undergraduate population now at 7,500 strong.) 5) Harper Court Phase 2 |
Patiently waiting for this strip mall to get torn up and redeveloped on 53rd.

^ Yeah, it’s hideous, but seems to be thriving so you’re probably not going to want to hold your breath
