SmithGroup’s 25-year partnership with Loyola University Chicago has had a transformative effect on campus development. The firm’s interdisciplinary planning and design work has helped Loyola capitalize on its unique urban, lakefront location, strengthen campus identity, and advance an ambitious sustainability initiative. The work started with shoreline design for Loyola’s Lake Shore Campus and led to a campus-wide framework plan. The plan identified new building sites, along with new recreational, open space and outdoor learning environments, and strengthened connections with adjacent neighborhoods and Chicago’s public transportation system.
