Biographical Note

IIT offered increasing amounts of on-campus housing as the demographics of its student body shifted. Initially, limited housing was offered in nearby buildings and houses. This was replaced by a group of four residence halls designed by Skidmore, Owings and Merrill: Farr Hall (1948), Gunsaulus Hall (1949), Carman Hall (1953), and Cunningham Hall (1955). Gunsaulus and Carman Halls offered apartment housing to graduate students, students with families, research center staff, and faculty. Campus housing was expanding through the 1950s with a set of six interconnected halls (Graduate Hall, Fowler Hall, Lewis Hall, East Hall, North Hall, and South Hall), named McCormick Student Village in 1963. In the 1960s, a set of houses for fraternities was built on campus around the "Quad," replacing fraternity houses along Michigan Ave. Housing was expanded again in 2003 with State Street Village.
