We all know that
the new Jones College Prep (700 S. State) building is a costly, state-of-the-art building, but most of us probably won't ever step inside. The fine peeps at Curbed Chicago recently did and
have shared some thoughts/pictures of the schools amenities:
Designed by Perkins+Will, the seven-story contemporary building has an impressive presence, occupying an entire block along State Street in the South Loop. Our tour begins in the lobby, a dramatic space with three-story ceilings, soaring columns, and a wall of full-height glass outfitted with sleek metallic elements. Other highlights: the landscaped seventh-floor terrace, one of three outdoor spaces scattered throughout the building, and the bright, airy natatorium. The 276,000-square foot facility, designed to accommodate 1,200 students, boasts an impressive resume of amenities, including a fitness center, student dining area with full cooking kitchen, auditorium, art studios, green roof, theater, and an outdoor reading garden.
$115 million apparently can buy a pretty swanky school. Looks nice to us.
