CHICAGO AIA AWARDS 2009
by ArchitectureWeek
http://www.ArchitectureWeek.com/today.html
http://www.ArchitectureWeek.com/2009/1118/news_1-1.html
A utility plant stands in glass at the edge of the
University of Chicago campus, the geometric tangle of
ts technical systems revealed inside the radiused
crystalline form.
The South Campus Chiller Plant by Murphy/ Jahn was
recognized by the Chicago chapter of the American
Institute of Architects in its 2009 design awards. The
AIA Chicago honorees range from a tiny cupcake shop in
Chicago to a weathered-steel house in Arizona and a
glassy office tower in Germany.
Beautiful Utility
Murphy/ Jahn designed the South Campus Chiller Plant as
a functional and ultimately celebratory container for
equipment that chills water and produces steam for
cooling and heating university and hospital buildings.
Located on an open site on the southeastern fringe of
campus, the building stands as a self-contained figure
in the landscape.
The major equipment rooms sport ultra-clear
floor-to-floor glass on steel bar mullions, exposing the
building's industrial contents: equipment, piping,
valves, columns, girders, beams, floor decks. Elsewhere
on the building, continuous sheets of profiled,
perforated stainless steel panels are held four inches
(ten centimeters) out from precast concrete planks,
facilitating air intake and exhaust.
The awards jury lauded the architects' honest approach,
calling the utility building "beautifully and simply
done."

** ArchitectureWeek is a green and low-carbon-footprint
publication. By publishing this professional design and building
magazine online-only, we save about 48 tons of paper monthly,

of mature conifer forest) each year, compared to reaching a
similar readership on paper - not counting these newsletters!
We provide ongoing pro-bono services to local non-profit
sustainability organizations. And our company offices are
powered by a green mix of 98% wind energy and 2% solar power
through our local electric utilities.
