George J. Kacek Hall
Named after alumnus George J. Kacek (EE ’54, M.S. ’55), opened its doors for the first time in August 2020. Kacek Hall is a legacy Ludwig Mies van der Rohe building that was revitalized by alumnus and College of Architecture Professor Dirk Denison. It imbues classic modernism with a vibrant, new living experience for first- and second-year students.
Each floor has two large lounges for social interaction and studying. The “social lounges” are located on the south side of each floor.
