IIT History and Campuses
IIT’s traditions span more than a century of innovation
and educational leadership. IIT came into being in 1940
with the merger of Armour Institute of Technology
(founded in 1892) and Lewis Institute (founded in 1896).
Today, the university has several campuses and offers
degree programs through the College of Architecture,
Armour College of Engineering, Institute of Business and
Interprofessional Studies, Chicago-Kent College of Law,
Institute of Design, Center for Professional Development,
Institute of Psychology, College of Science and Letters,
and Stuart School of Business.
The 120-acre Main Campus is located three miles south
of the central business district in Chicago, and is internationally
known for its architecture. The Master Plan of
the campus and many of its 50 buildings were developed
by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, one of the century’s most
influential architects.
IIT’s Downtown Campus, at 565 W. Adams St. in the
West Loop business district, houses the Chicago-Kent
College of Law, Stuart School of Business, and the
Master of Public Administration program. A shuttle-bus
provides transportation between the Main and Downtown
campuses.
The Institute of Design, 350 N. LaSalle St., is in an outstanding
downtown location and state-of-the-art facility.
