VOA Associates Incorporated is designing a state-of-the-art building for Roosevelt University, Chicago, which will house classrooms, laboratories, a student recreation center and residence suites for more than 600 students.  The 469-foot-tall building will also be constructed as a "green" building and showcase a glass exterior on three sides, drawing in natural light and cutting energy costs. The first newly constructed building in the school's history, this project demonstrates Roosevelt’s role as a leader in both higher education and revitalization of the urban environment. AIA/CEU: 1
