University of Chicago North Residence Hall
Three mid-rise buildings standing five, 11, and 15 stories comprise this state-of-the-art facility for housing and dining that serves 800 students and forms a grand portal into the northeast corner of the university's Hyde Park campus. Each building is approximately 250 ft long, slightly curved to reduce visual impact, and clad in pre-cast concrete panels to complement the university's neo-Gothic architectural tradition. ![Image of University of Chicago North Residence Hall](https://www.mka.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/98621_00_N32_indesign-jpg.webp)
