Alderman Joe Moore and the 49th Ward Zoning and Land Use Advisory Committee invite you to a
meeting to discuss Loyola University’s proposal to construct a new building on its campus. The meeting will be Tuesday April 4th, 7 pm, Bremner Lounge, Centennial Forum, Loyola University, 1125 West Loyola Ave.

Representatives of Loyola University will be presenting a proposal to construct a building, called an Information Commons, to serve as an addition to the main library. The proposed site is currently an open green space between the existing Madonna Della Strada Chapel and Cudahy Library and just east of the Jesuit Residence. The proposed building contains approximately 73,000 square feet and is four stories or 67 feet in height.

This new building needs approval under the Lakefront Protection Ordinance. The proposal is under review by the 49th Ward Zoning and Land Use Advisory Committee. “I look forward to hearing from the community, and will only support the project if it enjoys substantial community support,” said Moore.

For further information, please call the 49th Ward Service Office at (773) 338-5796.
