Loyola Announces Demolition of Campion Hall
As the University prepares to say goodbye to Campion Hall, a long-serving residence hall at the Lake Shore Campus, a new project to expand and modernize Loyola University Chicago’s nursing and science programming gets ready to replace it. Deconstruction of Campion Hall will begin in mid-June following a preparatory phase that starts May 12th. The project marks one of the early milestones in the Campus Plan and the University Strategic Plan—both of which emphasize the importance of interdisciplinary learning and advancing Loyola’s presence in health and sciences. Plans are being developed for a new center for nursing and science–serving as a home for the four-year undergraduate program of the Marcella Niehoff School of Nursing–and will include specialty research and teaching spaces designed to create high-impact learning experiences in a pre-professional setting.
