Medill, the journalism school at Northwestern, officially opened its new downtown Chicago location on March 29 at 303 E. Wacker, the first step in a multi-project expansion initiative that also includes a new space in San Francisco to open in early fall and a renovated Fisk Hall in 2019.
“It’s unusual to take on so many projects at the same time, but our academic buildings need significant work,” said Dean Brad Hamm. “Plus, Northwestern is significantly upgrading the main Evanston campus and wants the teaching and research spaces to be top quality, reflective of a world-class university.”
