University of Illinois Breaks Ground on Siebel Center for Design

Published 5/17/2018

The University of Illinois broke ground in late April of 2018 on the $48 million Siebel Center for Design in Champaign. Designed by Bohlin Cywinski Jackson, the two-story, 59,000-sf facility will act as a campus-wide hub for human-centered design thinking and learning. Connecting the north and south areas of campus, the multidisciplinary center will feature five team-based collaboration studios, accommodating a total of 400 students, and a large workshop for 3D printing, fabrication, CNC machining, and laser and water-jet cutting. The project will also offer two digital media studios, galleries, meeting rooms, informal interaction spaces, and public gathering areas. Completion is expected in early 2020.
