Standard Capacities

A Progressive Retreat

The Forum’s iconic design includes a two-story podium and 10-story tower divided into “neighborhoods,” each with a distinctive identity.  The Forum is a progressive retreat, with large public spaces on lower floors transitioning to more private, contemplative spaces as you ascend the tower. The views from higher floors are unmatched in the city, offering visitors unique perspectives of campus, the Chicago skyline, the Midway Plaisance, and Lake Michigan.
