of six-can access from their computers. "It's more [about] building
for the future than something we've got an immediate need for," says
Booth School Executive Director of Facilities and Operations Ronald
Gemkow. "We want to be prepared, and give our faculty the option to
teach in a different fashion."
Gray oak pavilions with walnut
doors (top) contain 16 study
rooms. An experimental
classroom (middle) features
media screens accessible by
groups of students from their
laptops. The street front of the
annex (above) is lined with
glass for views inside and out.
Rectilinear light fixtures by
Birchwood (opposite) hang
in the lounge area.

An art gallery-like setting
The subdued shades of gray and white throughout the annex rely on
the business school's world-class art collection to give spaces depth
and color. "In a way, it's an art gallery," says David Woodhouse, FAIA,
principal of Woodhouse Tinucci Architects. "The activity and the art
come to the fore." Abstract, non-representational art works and the
lack of typical business school design cues reinforce Booth's identity
as a global school in a more democratic realm with satellite programs
in Europe and Asia. "That's one of the things that I think is kind of
limiting about the [neighboring Gleacher Center]," says Woodhouse.
"It only speaks to a certain culture. The school has a much more
globalized culture now."
The University of Chicago is undergoing many significant
architecture and interior design projects overseen by Steven
Wiesenthal, FAIA, senior associate vice president and university
architect. This annex, while not on the main campus, is integral to the
university's goal of broadened, modern architectural appeal. "While
off-campus in downtown Chicago," Wiesenthal says, "the architects
successfully translated the design principles that have informed all
of our projects during this period of campus transformation, creating
a place that's all about the robust exchange of ideas." c
