Net Zero Water Campus Goal: UIC will use the same amount of water in its operations (irrigation, plumbing, etc.) as the amount of natural rainfall on UIC’s campus.
This recently renovated plaza serves as an open, common area for students, faculty, staff and visitors of the west side of campus. Users of the plaza enjoy the space for leisure and also access the plaza to travel on campus and to surrounding facilities, including UIC’s seven health science colleges and various healthcare facilities within the Illinois Medical District. It is named after a Chicago street (south of Polk street, but north of Taylor street) that was built over when the “Illini Union” (as it was called back then) was constructed.
