Chicago, IL

Northwestern University Law School’s primary focus is to be a leader in law and justice and prepare its students for an ever changing and complex world. This was demonstrated in the renovation of a bridge that connected NWU’s historic law school building to their modern library. The project was coined “The Fortress of Solitude” after a fictional crystal palace of superhero folklore because it is completely enclosed in glass and looks out over the new atrium of the library.
