The new 135,000 SF Computer Design, Research, and Learning Center (CDRLC) at University of Illinois Chicago (UIC) will consolidate the currently fragmented Computer Science Department in a new home and co-locate it with a large cluster of university-administered classrooms at the heart of the East Campus. The building is designed to be a welcoming, inclusive, and inviting space for the diverse student body. It will be a new campus hub, serve research needs with state-of-the-art facilities, and help accommodate the rapidly increasing undergraduate enrollment in computer science.
Working in collaboration with Seattle architecture firm, LMN Architects, Booth Hansen is the Architect of Record.
