The innovative interdisciplinary research center, designed by HOK, was formally dedicated on Oct. 29 on the university’s main campus south of downtown Chicago. The 277,000-sq.-ft. building, which opened in September, is named for alumnus William Eckhardt, S.M.’70, in recognition of his generous support of the Physical Sciences Division and the university. It includes state-of-the-art laboratories, offices, conference rooms, a 150-seat conference facility and a café.
