List of Northwestern University buildings

1

The list of Northwestern University buildings encompasses the two main campuses of Northwestern University, located in Evanston, Illinois and Chicago, Illinois. The Evanston site contains approximately 150 buildings on its 240 acre campus. The downtown Chicago campus, of approximately 25 acres (0.10 km2), is home to the Feinberg School of Medicine and Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law. Northwestern University also has an 11-acre (0.04 km2) campus in Education City, a satellite campus complex in Doha, Qatar.

Evanston campus

Northwestern's original Evanston, Illinois campus, located just north of Chicago on the shores of Lake Michigan, can be traced to 1851, one year after the institution's founding. The campus still hosts the majority of Northwestern's undergraduate programs, as well as several of its graduate and professional schools. Unlike many prestigious universities of the time, whose campuses were iteratively master-planned, buildings on the Evanston Campus range heavily in both architectural style and date, due in part to the university's historically fluctuating finances. The earliest buildings are of Victorian, Gothic-adjacent, Neoclassical, and Renaissance-Revival styles. Numerous buildings on the Evanston campus constructed from the early to mid-twentieth century, including lecture halls, student residences, and the university's flagship library, were commissioned in the Collegiate Gothic style by notable American campus architect James Gamble Rogers. In the postwar period, numerous brutalist projects were undertaken, including an expansion of the main library by Walter Netsch. Many of these buildings are located on the Northwestern University Lakefill, a 1964 landfill extension of Northwestern's campus into Lake Michigan. As the university's first and primary campus, Evanston has seen major development in the past decade, including the construction of major new projects for its Music, Business, and Athletic programs designed by leading architecture firms.

Chicago campus

Northwestern's Downtown Chicago campus of approximately 25 acre dates to 1921 where the university purchased 9 original acres for its medical, dental, law, and business schools. The Chicago Campus, with a small assortment of gothic revival buildings, is notable for containing the first instances of academic skyscrapers in the world. Located on land in the Streeterville neighborhood on the city's Near North Side, the secondary campus is home to the Feinberg School of Medicine and Northwestern University School of Law (as well as parts of the Kellogg School of Management and School of Continuing Studies).
