With its iconic tower and pink sandstone construction, Altgeld Hall is one of the most easily recognized buildings on campus, and Illini Hall, its neighbor across the street, has served a variety of important purposes over the past century.
Campaign for Altgeld and Illini Halls
The University of Illinois has embarked on a project to restore and renovate Altgeld Hall and replace its neighbor across Wright Street, Illini Hall, with a new building. Funds from the state, campus, and private donors will support the projected $192 million cost of the project. We invite you to partner with other alumni and friends to build the future for our campus and its students, as well as for these important campus buildings.
An investment in these spaces will directly benefit thousands of students and faculty members. The renovation of Altgeld and a new Illini Hall will provide students and faculty collaborative spaces that are essential for learning and discovery in the 21st century and make both buildings accessible to all students.
An investment in Altgeld and Illini Halls will have direct influence on thousands of students and faculty members.
