University Psychology Department
The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign’s Psychology Building was constructed in 1969 to address the Psychology Department’s growing needs for instructional and research space; at the time, the department was spread out across nine different buildings, one of which was at the airport (1)[uihistories.library.illinois.edu]. This 8-story structure, designed by architechtural firm Hellmuth, Obata & Kassabaum, is a classic example of brutalism; its imposing, bare concrete walls and sharp geometric form set it apart from the style of surrounding buildings. The building also features a sunken plaza at its base.
This asset functions as a university with some tweaked parameters: since this building is technically just one department of a massive state university, I have reduced the cost and student count compared to the default university and quadrupled its radius. The increased radius is more or less 1 city tile, encouraging the development of a central university campus to serve your entire region.
