LeJeune
Steel Company was successful in its bid for the University of
Illinois at Chicago (UIC) South Campus Development project. The
project consists of two distinct
components.
- The
Residence Halls are a 4 building assembly of residential
towers on the southern half of the site.
- The buildings parallel assemblies of a 3,000 seat Convention
Center, 150 seat Event Center, and academic building on the
northern half of the site.
The
750 room towers will primarily be a concrete structure.
LeJeune will have approximately 1,300 tons of steel
to fabricate
for these
five buildings.
General Contractor: Power Construction
Architect: HOK
Structural Engineer: Thornton Tomasetti
Owner: University of Illinois at Chicago |

The UIC Forum
The Jewel
of the project will be the Forum building. The structure
features 5 Trusses and 2 end wall frames with a
124' span. The
W36 top cords will be rolled to feature a sloping roof line.
Nearly half of the structural steel will be architecturally
exposed to
feature the trellis overhand system. The most substantial elements
of the project will be the single 4
foot diameter pipe column which reaches to a height of over
120 feet. A 60 inch deep plate girder with a 140 foot length
frames into the pipe column to increase stability. |
