University of Illinois at Chicago Campus-wide
Collaborative preservation, technical investigations, and architectural design for an urban academic campus.
The University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) retained JLK to provide campus building assessments and facade repair services through 2024. Under this retainer, JLK conducted building and roof assessments, facade inspections, and emergency repair projects for several buildings of differents ages, architectural styles, and construction methods. To do this work, JLK coordinated hands-on, multi-discipline inspections often utilizing drones, scanning, lift-access, and selective demolition work to identify underlying conditions. JLK documented all findings and recommendations for repair prioritization in a comprehensive final report.
In addition to our retainer work with the University, JLK is also regularly retained for other architectural and historic preservation projects across the UIC campus including full architectural design services for exterior rehabiliations, interior renovations, programming studies, and conditions and feasibility assessments. Through this work, JLK has developed a thorough understanding of University standards and procedures.
After completing a detailed technical inspection, JLK is leading major repairs for 20,404 square feet of masonry and fenestration throughout all building facades at the College of Medicine East Tower (COMET). The project scope includes limestone repair and replacement, window repairs, installation of structural steel, and replacement of failed roof membranes.
