It is a great honour, both as a UIC alumna and as an architect practising in Chicago, to be part of such an important cultural project
– Jackie Koo

The University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) has selected the Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA) and KOO to plan its US$95m (€85.1m, £75m) Center for the Arts.

The future facility, which will be located on the school's northwest campus, will comprise a 500-seat concert hall and a 270-seat auditorium, as well as food and beverage areas, rehearsal rooms, exhibition spaces, and a rooftop terrace.

The 88,000 sq ft (8,175.4 sq m) complex will also boast a translucent roof with "embedded photovoltaics" that will reflect light from the performance halls.

Speaking on the project, Shohei Shigematsu, a partner at OMA's New York office, said: "Our design focuses on fostering dialogue between performance and the public – the new building will be a connector between the city and UIC’s urban campus."

Walter Benn Michaels, interim dean of UIC’s College of Architecture, Design, and the Arts, commented: "This design both creates a central space for thinking and making and provides a vivid image of the innovative work of the schools of the college."

Fundraising for the scheme is currently underway.

The Center for the Arts will reinforce "UIC's mission to share knowledge with the broader world" / OMA/KOO
