About DePaul University

DePaul University, an anchor in Chicago since 1898, manifests its commitment to community through its architecture. Inspired by the Vincentian values of service and social justice, the university's buildings foster a pedestrian-friendly environment, encouraging interaction and a sense of belonging. The Lincoln Park campus evokes a traditional American college feel with its tree-lined quads, while the Loop campus integrates seamlessly into the urban fabric, providing access to the city's cultural and financial heart. Recent additions, such as the Arts & Letters Hall, prioritize sustainability and collaborative learning spaces, reflecting a forward-thinking approach. The Theatre School, designed by Pelli Clarke Pelli, showcases transparency and invites engagement, while the Richard M. and Maggie C. Daley Building preserves a historic Chicago structure for modern academic use. DePaul's architectural ethos balances respecting its heritage with creating dynamic spaces that promote innovation and community engagement.
