The McCormick Tribune Campus Center is a building on the main campus of the Illinois Institute of Technology designed by Rem Koolhaas. The building was opened in September of 2003. It is a one-story building, but is 110,000 square feet. This building was the first that Rem Koolhaas designed in the United States. Koolhaas won a design contest that allowed him to be the architect of the Campus Center. Because of the noise of the train tracks overhead, Koolhaas decided to enclose a portion of the track in a stainless steel tube. The building is a central hub for student life on campus and provides space for offices and meetings.
