The Chicago skyline has a few buildings that break the mold, including this one. The Wabash Building houses university offices, classrooms, and housing.
From Roosevelt’s website:
The Wabash Building’s design was inspired by Constantin Brancusi’s sculpture, The Endless Column. The 32 story building ascends to 469 feet tall, measures 100 feet across and 170 feet deep, and is the second tallest educational building in the Western Hemisphere. The dramatic two-story lobby will be the focal point of the Admission, Financial Aid, and Registration offices, each of which is identified with color coordinated finishes. The first five floors of the building are dedicated to student services and activities, floors 6 through 13 include classrooms, laboratories, and offices, while floors 14-31 are used as resident life suites. The Vertical Campus is water and energy efficient, contains five vegetated roofs and utilizes an impressive tri-sorter recycling chute system for waste materials. The glass façade promotes daylighting and grants breathtaking views of Chicago.
