Loop University could get $32 million makeover for college housing
BY FRAN SPIELMAN
Loop University — the nickname for a section of downtown Chicago where 65,000 college students take classes and 20,000 of them live — may be getting a $32 million addition tailor-made for graduate students.
Developers want to convert a pair of century-old, but underutilized office buildings — and a former stable in the alley in between — into 199 fully-furnished, one- and two-bedroom apartments specifically marketed to grad students.
The two office buildings — at 20 and 28 E. Jackson — were designed by Chicago architect Benjamin Marshall, who also designed the Drake and Blackstone hotels and the South Shore Cultural Center.
