At our meeting last week Team One went VERTICAL!!  Our students and mentors got a first-hand look at Roosevelt University’s New Vertical Campus building.  The building was designed by Team One mentor group VOA Associates.

VOA worked with Roosevelt University to develop this distinctive 35-story tower to house academic, student life and administrative spaces on several lower floors surmounted by over 600 student residences with expansive views of the Chicago Loop and Lake Michigan.  The building is linked with existing facilities in the historic Auditorium Theater Building.  This shimmering column of blue glass redefines the character of this institution for future generations of Roosevelt students and faculty.
