Architect, University officials to discuss with community design plans for Chicago Theological Seminary

Architect Ann Beha and University of Chicago officials invite the community to attend a public meeting to discuss design plans for 5757 S. University Ave., formerly the Chicago Theological Seminary.  

The free public meeting will be held at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, March 28 at the Charles M. Harper Center at Chicago Booth, 5807 S. Woodlawn Ave., Room C25.

Ann Beha Architects of Boston, a nationally known leader in the adaptive reuse of important buildings, was selected in 2010 to lead the adaptive reuse of 5757 S. University Ave. The seminary is moving to a new facility south of the Midway, and the building at 5757 S. University Ave. will be adapted for use by the University.

As a follow-up to previous community meetings on the project, Beha will preview the design for the building. University officials also will be on hand to answer questions about the goals and progress to date.

Light refreshments will be provided.
