Tod Williams and Billie Tsien Architects’ highly anticipated multidisciplinary arts center has opened at the University of Chicago in Illinois. Serving as a landmark on the south end of campus, the 184,000 square foot Reva and David Logan Center for the Arts
is the new home to UChicago’s academic and extracurricular programs in
cinema and media studies, creative writing, music, theater and
performance studies, and the visual arts.
Inspired by the “flat prairies of the Midwest and the great towers of Chicago”, the new arts hub is comprised of a light-filled glass and stone tower and a three-story “podium” with a saw-tooth roof. The 170-foot tower houses a performance penthouse, screening room, rooftop deck, classrooms, rehearsal rooms, and performance labs, while the podium features studio space, music practice rooms, workshops, a café, a digital media center, production and editing labs, two theaters, and a 474-seat performance hall.
The University is pursuing LEED Silver Certification for the Logan
Center, as the design features regionally sourced materials, a “green
roof,” and solar panels.

Tod Williams and Billie Tsien: “The idea of the long, low, skylit
building of studios and theaters, and the tower of the arts came from
imagining the flat prairies of the Midwest and the great towers of
Chicago. The quiet low “plains” building will provide three floors of
beautifully lit studios, a gallery, music practice rooms and theaters
that are spatial surprises. The presence of the tower on the south side
of the Midway announces a new home for the creative life of students and
faculty and a public venue for residents of the city.”
“We have put cinema, dance, performance, ensemble spaces of music, and
classrooms on different floors and connected these programs with
generous elevators and dramatic stairways. Details such as custom made
tiles and felt paneled walls attest to the importance of the creative
act. Moving from floor to floor, students, faculty, and residents of
Chicago will discover communal places to gather and secret places to be
alone.”
“The Logan Center is made to be explored and discovered over time. In
doing so this building will be for all who use the Logan Center a place
where arts overlap and friendships are formed and the exhilarating and
the unimagined happen.”
