University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Champaign, Illinois

Since receiving its charter as a land-grant institution in 1867, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) has grown steadily in stature and in size, and now includes over 200 buildings on almost 1400 acres. UIUC's buildings reflect the history of popular architectural styles over the last 140 years, including examples of Italianate, Neo-Classical, Arts and Crafts, and Georgian Revival. Grant funds will support the creation of a "Campus Heritage Register" (an online computerized database with detailed information on campus structures and sites)and the development of preservation maintenance guidelines.

University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign received a Getty grant in 2005 for $175,000 to support campus heritage planning.
