UIC Innovation Center

JGMA has been selected to design UIC’s Innovation Center Expansion. The project will be located adjacent to the Student Services Building, on the site of the recently demolished parking structure at the corner of Harrison and Throop Street in Chicago. The new building will be visible from the Eisenhower Expressway and will act as the campus’s front door to the west.

The scope of work provides for construction of an approximately 15,000 square foot, 2-story addition to the UIC Innovation Center that will include a large co-working area, workshop space, offices, presentation room, and loading dock.

The UIC Innovation Center serves as a gateway and bridge between UIC and its corporate partnerships as well as a destination for innovation and collaboration. The goal for a new state-of-the-art collaborative space will be to provide a facility that is optimized for integrative work among multidisciplinary teams, expand the innovative educational experience for which the UIC Innovation Center is known for, and establish a new landmark for design on the University of Illinois at Chicago’s campus.
