A detailed look at the expansion and renewal taking place on the three U of I campuses
The University of Illinois System’s universities have undergone a dramatic transformation. This lavishly illustrated volume showcases the major capital projects and renovations dedicated to keeping facilities on the cutting edge while at the same time preserving history at the universities in Urbana-Champaign, Chicago, and Springfield. Fueled by an ambitious capital initiative launched in 2018, these essential and forward-looking changes include more than 500 projects valued at $4 billion over 10 years. The initiative harnesses a mix of innovative funding programs like public-private partnerships, thoughtful use of capital reserves and bonding authority, and generous state funding.
Covering completed and ongoing projects, Building Momentum offers a one- or two-page feature on each undertaking that covers its history and purpose while providing specific details about its unit, campus, architect, square footage or renovation size, budget, and LEED or other certifications. More than 100 architectural drawings and commissioned and historical photographs round out the descriptions.

Reviews for Building Momentum: A Decade of Construction, Renovation, and Renewal across the University of Illinois System
“What began as a single, land-grant campus has grown to three best-in-class universities. Enrollment has surged from a handful of students when our doors first opened to more than 94,000 today. Academic and research programs have steadily evolved to meet ever-changing student needs and help lead our state and nation through fast-changing times. I hope you enjoy this look at the expanding footprint of Illinois’ flagship university system--additions rooted in our commitment to driving progress and prosperity for the people of Illinois.”--Timothy L. Killeen, President of the University of Illinois System, from the foreword
