Description

Why does the University of Illinois campus at Urbana-Champaign look as it does these days? Drawing on a wealth of research and featuring a couple of hundred color photographs, An Illini Place provides an engrossing and beautiful answer to that query. Lex Tate and John Franch trace the tale of the university’s evolution through its buildings. Oral histories, official reports, dedication programs, and developmental plans both practical and quixotic inform the tale. The authors also provide special chapters on campus icons and at the buildings, arenas and other spaces made imaginable by donors and friends of the university. Adding to the revel in is a internet companion that incorporates profiles of the planners, architects, and presidents instrumental within the campus’s growth, plus an illustrated inventory of current and former campus plans and buildings.
