Thomas M. Siebel Center for Computer Science
The school's home, dedicated in 2004, has over 225,000 square feet of classrooms, laboratories, and offices. A generous gift from Thomas M. Siebel (BA, MBA, MS), the CEO of C3 AI (NYSE: AI), and additional funding from the State of Illinois and the University of Illinois made it possible.
Architect
Peter Bohlin of Bohlin Cywinski Jackson designed the school as a vibrant space that encourages collaboration. Brick, slate, copper, and glass were used for traditional south-facing exteriors to harmonize with the surrounding buildings and a modern north-facing facade to reflect cutting-edge activities.
