| New Midwest Regional Campus for Universal Technical Institute in Lisle |
Lisle, Illinois will become home to the new Midwest Regional Campus for Universal Technical Institute (UTI), whose locations now span across the entire country, in or near 10 major cities.
The aerial picture below shows how the school is taking shape. Partners is Architect of record, handling all aspects of design.
UTI is the leading provider of post-secondary education for students seeking careers as professional automotive, diesel, collision repair, motorcycle, marine and NASCAR technicians. With more than 160,000 graduates in its 47-year history, UTI offers undergraduate degrees, diploma and certificate programs at 11 campuses across the United States, as well as manufacturer-specific training programs at dedicated training centers.
UTI challenged Partners to relocate their existing five building campus in Glendale Heights to a consolidated campus in Lisle. This new campus project redeveloped an existing 20-acre site adding three new inter-connected buildings for approximately 1,500 students and 200 staff. The three new buildings, totaling approximately 200,000 SF were efficiently designed to locate lab spaces and Custom Training Group areas on a path that exposes both current and potential students to various education components. In addition, all labs and classrooms are thoughtfully sited to maximize exposure to natural sun-light.
A critical portion of the design was the central lab space - the "high bay" - that anchors the three buildings and will serve as a focal point for the campus, both internally and externally.
