Welcome Back UChicago Alumni ! In 1931, through the generous financial support of John D. Rockefeller, Jr., the Oriental Institute moved into new permanent headquarters that housed laboratories, museum galleries, libraries and offices for the scientific and teaching staff. Today, this building continues to function as an internationally renowned center of ancient Near Eastern studies. Over 60,000 people visit the museum galleries each year, and hundreds of scholars come to consult the faculty and research collections. UChicago News started coverage of this project in 2012 with Something old, something new: Architectural vision changes campus and honors its history bit.ly/1jV80ZI 2013 the work began, University of Chicago Quad Expansion Next Week Shuts City Street, For Good dnain.fo/1hfpt4n As the construction wraps up on the Center for the Economics of Human Development bit.ly/1pIefYA the pedestrian way walk is now open for everyone to enjoy.
