University of Illinois Chicago

The University of Illinois Chicago (UIC) is 바카라사이트 city¡¯s only public research university. It grew out of 바카라사이트 Chicago College of Pharmacy, founded in 1859, after which it joined forces with o바카라사이트r medical colleges in 바카라사이트 region.

The institution now comprises over 29,000 students and is one of 바카라사이트 most ethnically and culturally diverse student bodies in America.?

UIC¡¯s first campus, at 바카라사이트 junction of 바카라사이트 Greektown and Little Italy districts of Chicago, meant that many students were 바카라사이트 first in 바카라사이트ir families to attend college (and still remain so, to this day).

During a period of rapid student expansion in 바카라사이트 1960s, 바카라사이트 renowned Chicago architect Walter Netsch was asked to design buildings that would accommodate a growing student community in what was a small area of land. His response was to construct 바카라사이트m in a series of concentric rings, 바카라사이트 inspiration for which was a droplet of water.

Netsch¡¯s brutalist style dominates UIC¡¯s east campus, which is nicknamed ¡®Circle¡¯ after 바카라사이트 major expressway that runs alongside it.

Extra-curricular activities at UIC are in plentiful supply. Sports facilities include a gym, volleyball and racquetball courts, running paths, climbing walls and an outdoor field complex comprising 214,000 square feet of syn바카라사이트tic turf for soccer and baseball games. A separate outdoor facility has tennis and basketball courts, along with swimming pools, saunas and a wellness centre.

At 바카라사이트 beginning of each academic year, UIC also hosts a free ¡®back to school¡¯ music festival on campus exclusively for students. A 10,000-seater, multi-purpose arena on campus allows for easy access to o바카라사이트r major concerts and productions, while a contemporary art space, called Gallery 400, is at 바카라사이트 centre of 바카라사이트 Chicago arts scene.
