This item is a courtesy presentation by the University of Chicago for a proposed site plan review for the New Engineering and Science Building. The proposal involves constructing the new building within Sub-Area B of Institutional Planned Development No. 43, with a height below the permitted maximum of 200 feet for that sub-area. No changes to the existing Floor Area Ratio (FAR) for any campus Sub-Areas within the Planned Development boundaries are proposed. The project incorporates bird-friendly glass and fritting on curtain walls as part of a Sustainable Development Policy strategy, aimed at protecting migratory birds.
