The University of Chicago campus, rooted in the tradition of grey stone Collegiate Gothic and taking inspiration from the forward looking spirit of America's premier city of architectural innovation, is in the midst of an historic transformation. In the first two decades of the 21st century, the campus has undergone more change than it ever had in its 110 year history. Guided by principle and overarching planning themes, the University's campus has added buildings designed by a number of architectural luminaries - Helmut Jahn, Tod Willams, Billie Tsien, Jeanne Gang, Ann Beha, Jamie Carpenter, MIchael Van Walkenberg among them. In spite of transformative physical changes to its campus, the University remains committed to its core values.
