NEW GROUND 

Illinois Institute of Technology 

10 W. 33rd Street 

Chicago, IL 60616

How do you sum up a year’s 

worth of accomplishments at 

IIT when every day is filled 

with new discoveries and 

successes? 

A visit to Main Campus will tell the story of the 

extraordinary physical transformations of the 

past year, as we continued our proud architectural 

tradition with the new McCormick 

Tribune Campus Center and State Street Village 

residence hall, and made important strides in 

restoring our historic Mies buildings and 

enhancing our landscape architecture. 

We strengthened our interprofessional curriculum 

by creating the Institute for Business and 

Interprofessional Studies, which houses our 

successful Interprofessional Projects program 

and innovative new “Techno-Business” program. 

Several of our other academic units also benefited 

from new administrative leadership, and our 

faculty continued to bring innovation to the 

classroom, laboratory, and marketplace. Our 

students not only excelled academically this past 

year, but also brought their talents and energy to 

our newly expanded athletic program and other 

new student activities. 

Our accomplishments also extended to Chicago’s 

South Side community, where we partnered with 

local organizations to better educate mathematics 

and science teachers, supported development of 

new, mixed-income housing, and provided 

employment opportunities. 

These achievements are everyday occurrences 

here at IIT, because when so many bright 

minds come together exciting things happen all 

the time. So while the cover of this year’s report 

highlights one of our incredible new buildings, 

the theme, breaking new ground, is about how 

people are making things happen every day—in 

the classroom, the laboratory, and the community. 

At IIT last year, it was business as usual—a lot of 

hard work, moments of inspiration, invaluable 

occasions of generosity, and the kinds of breakthrough 

days that make all the rest worthwhile. 

Here are some of the highlights. 

As an IIT student nearly 60 

years ago, I could not have 

imagined the incredible 

changes that would take 

place over the ensuing 

decades. 

Looking at IIT’s physical campus alone, 

there are only two buildings left from the 

time I was a student. One thing that has not 

changed, however, is the high-quality education 

IIT provides, which takes place not only 

within the classroom, but also through 

research opportunities, interprofessional 

projects, and important collaborations with 

other outstanding institutions of higher 

learning. 

One of the biggest educational issues of the 

past few years, and one which is certain to 

remain an issue in coming years, is the 

shortage of engineers being educated in the 

United States. IIT is helping to reverse that 

trend by providing an outstanding technical 

education that also addresses the human side 

of science. IIT’s architecture, humanities, 

social sciences, law, psychology, design, and 

other programs all benefit from this component, 

as they prepare leaders who are able to 

transcend traditional disciplinary boundaries. 

Over the past few years, IIT has experienced 

an upward spiral of enrolling better students 

who have attracted better faculty, who in 

turn have attracted even stronger students. 

This increased quality of talent, combined 

with a safer, more beautiful campus, has 

produced a more dynamic university. 

I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to 

all who have volunteered their time, talents, 

and financial resources to make IIT an institution 

of which we can be extremely proud.

Day in and day out, the colleges, institutes, and centers that 

make up IIT perform the important work of advancing their 

specialized fields of study and research; at the same time, they 

share one common goal—to make life better. 

In the Institute of Psychology, this has involved extensive 

research on the rehabilitation of workers, while in Armour 

College of Engineering researchers use engineering principles 

to fabricate neuroprosthetic implants and develop new medical 

imaging technology. In the College of Science and Letters, 

improving the quality of life includes developing new methods 

to obtain information from the Internet and offering classes in 

multicultural communication, and at the Institute of Design it 

often happens in a “Eureka!” moment in front of a poster filled 

with action photos and notations about the ways in which people 

and technology intersect. 

The pages that follow provide their own snapshots of recent 

progress, and create a composite picture of how people at IIT are 

breaking new ground in significant ways every single day.

From macro- to nano-scale, IIT minds 

are engineering new approaches to 

critical global issues. 

With Dean Hamid Arastoopour at the helm, Armour is 

giving students a solid foundation in engineering principles 

along with the context for understanding the 

social, economic, and environmental issues that 

impact their work. 

A great deal of investigation involves collaboration 

with government, industry, national laboratories, and 

other universities. The following are Armour’s priority 

research areas: 

• The Energy and Sustainability Institute—identifying 

research directions that will shape energy policy and 

sustainability initiatives, improve energy efficiency, 

ensure power reliability and security, minimize pollution, 

and continue decarbonization of the global energy 

system. 

• Bioengineering Programs—development of expanded 

educational and research programs in biological 

engineering and establishment of an imaging center 

and a Center for Integrative Neuroscience and 

Neuroengineering Center that capitalize on a strong 

partnership with the University of Chicago. 

• The Manufacturing Center—a coalition led by the 

Mechanical, Materials and Aerospace Engineering 

department to conduct research that will directly 

assist the U.S. manufacturing industry. 

• Nanotechnology—a joint effort between Armour 

College, College of Science and Letters, and other 

colleges and institutes at IIT to develop next generation 

materials, and chemical and biological processes using 

nanoscale science and technology.

The College of Science and Letters 

(CSL) has been generating landmark 

research that is benefiting the 

environment as well as everyone 

from elementary school children to 

college students and cancer patients. 

Safety in the Palms of Our Hands 

Although only slightly larger than a penny, the 

electronic sensor in the IIT ChemArray has 

enormous potential. Created and tested by a 

team of IIT scientists, this new sensing device 

holds the potential for identifying dangerous 

bacteria and dozens of other toxic agents in air, 

water, and food. 

Under the leadership of Dean F.R. McMorris, CSL 

faculty and researchers are working at the molecular 

level to reduce environmental waste and with the 

public school system to help create highly qualified 

science and mathematics teachers (2.2 million will 

be needed over the next 10 years). The College is also 

conducting research on how radiation can be better 

harnessed to fight cancer, how globalization is 

impacting communication and collaboration—in 

essence, on a whole array of areas where possibilities 

exist for improving people’s lives. 

Students working in IIT’s Interprofessional Projects 

program have recently created a novel way to contribute 

to the greater good: they are creatively educating 

their fellow undergraduates about the fundamentals 

of financial responsibility with CreditSafe, 

an “edutainment” game developed by students in conjunction 

with the Illinois Secretary of State’s Office. 

In outreach efforts, CSL has hosted Chinese students 

in the Public Administration graduate program and 

taught Taiwanese junior high students in the 

Department of Mathematics and Science Education 

summer program. CSL’s own students have been benefiting 

from new efforts as well, including a new professional 

master’s degree in Mathematical Finance, an 

International Center for Sensor Science and 

Engineering, and a Summer in Paris program.

Under the leadership of one of 

Chicago’s most influential women, 

the architectural world at IIT is 

positively electric, with record 

enrollment and faculty and students 

who have received worldwide 

attention for their designs. 

It’s no wonder, then, that IIT’s architecture 

program has been ranked among the top 15 in 

the U.S. by Design Intelligence magazine. 

This is especially fitting at a time when IIT is 

celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of the 

national historic landmark S.R. Crown Hall as 

well as receiving international acclaim for its 

two newest buildings, The McCormick 

Tribune Campus Center and State Street 

Village residence hall. 

To create architects who are prepared for 

real-world practice in the twenty-first century, 

the program emphasizes the study of innovative 

architectural design and technology, including 

emerging technologies such as tall building 

design and sustainable design. And in the best 

tradition of comprehensive training, studyabroad 

programs in France, Asia, and Brazil 

are allowing students to investigate architecture 

in new physical and cultural settings.

The effects of Chicago-Kent College 

of Law’s strategic decision to 

enhance the quality of its student 

body have been remarkable. 

More than 4,200 potential students applied to 

Chicago-Kent this year, including a record number of 

honors scholar program applicants. This enhanced 

student body has, in turn, attracted more world-class 

faculty, who bring a wealth of experience and 

knowledge to the classroom. 

Chicago-Kent’s world-class faculty 

members and alumni are making their 

mark in their fields. 

• As board chair and president, respectively, of 

the federally funded Institute on Biotechnology 

and the Human Future, professors Lori Andrew 

and Nigel Cameron are leading discussions on 

important biotechnology issues that will have a 

significant impact on policy formulation. 

• Anita Alvarez (’92), who won a 2002 professional 

achievement award from IIT, was 

recognized by Crain’s Chicago Business in 2003 

as one of Chicago’s 100 most influential women. 

This impressive growth in human resources has 

allowed Chicago-Kent to expand its programmatic 

offerings, including the additions of a six-year accelerated 

J.D. program with UIC and a new summerabroad 

program in Mexico City. 

Another addition, the Illinois Technology Center for 

Law & the Public Interest (ITC), is addressing the 

needs of the larger community. Created by 12 

partner organizations, the ITC is increasing access to 

justice for low-income and disadvantaged persons 

through the innovative use of technology to train, 

support, and educate legal aid providers, pro bono 

attorneys, and the public. 

Partnering successfully with IIT Research Institute, 

the College’s Institute for Science, Law &

INSTITUTE of DESIGN 

Designing Good Business 

ID has been building the case for a 

closer link between design and business 

strategy, and is planning a 2005 

sequel to its successful HITS—Humans, 

Interaction, Technology, Strategy—conference. 

Speakers will present principles 

and case studies of how to create offerings 

that both address the total user 

experience and are strategically important 

to the companies that created them. 

By embracing the onslaught of new 

technology and using it to more 

effectively address people’s needs, 

the Institute of Design (ID) prepares 

students who are changing 

organizations through humancentered 

design. 

And the world is taking note. ID has 

garnered local, national, and international 

attention for its activity-focused approach 

to discovering how people interact with 

products and within systems. A recent 

Business Week magazine review 

described ID’s approach as being at “the heart of 

innovation,” citing it as a design program that helps 

managers become great innovators. And a Forbes 

magazine profile named ID Director Patrick 

Whitney one of six 2004 tech trendsetters. “To 

succeed at human-centered design,” says Whitney, 

“is to understand not just how technology 

works, but how people actually use it. You have 

to pay attention to what people do, not just 

what they say.” 

ID’s success over the past year is also reflected in 

the increasing number of corporate partnerships 

with businesses seeking insights into strategic 

design. These exciting new partnerships—with 

companies such as Mattel, Texas Instruments, 

Vocollect, and Wilton Industries—include 

design exploration classes and workshops that 

pair business savvy and design innovation—a 

dynamic formula for generating promising new 

design possibilities. 

When the Department of Psychology 

became a full-fledged Institute in 1995, it 

was a calculated risk. 

The payoff has been evident in the way the 

Institute’s programs have been making the news 

lately: the Rehabilitation Counseling program 

was ranked 5th in 2004 by U.S. News & World 

Report, and the Princeton Review’s Gourman 

Report ranked the Industrial/Organization program 

13th nationwide. Successful research into topics 

such as adjustment to disability has contributed 

to the program’s success. 

And the faculty have been earning bragging 

rights as well. This past year, Nambury Raju 

was named co-investigator on a $330,000 

National Science Foundation computer science 

grant, and Tamara Sher, an expert therapist for 

couples dealing with illness, was chosen by the 

American Psychology Association to participate 

in its Master’s training tapes series. Part of Sher’s 

research involves how couples’ communication 

can decrease cardiac risk. 

Plans to capitalize on past and current successes 

include building the Institute’s undergraduate 

program, which could be done in part 

through the addition of two faculty 

chairs. Having these chairs would further 

elevate the program’s stature and 

provide additional support for program 

development.

STUART 

graduate school 

OF BUSINESS 

An exploration of how to better 

align Stuart Graduate School of 

Business with IIT’s technology 

heritage has led to a reshaping of 

the overall vision for this School. 

One innovative result from this expanded 

vision is the new, interdepartmental 

Mathematical Finance program— 

offered jointly with IIT’s Applied 

Mathematics department and offering a 

master’s degree. 

Also crossing academic, and even geographic, 

boundaries is Stuart’s 

Environmental Management program, which takes 

a strongly interprofessional approach—blending 

business, law, and environmental engineering and science. 

It has been ranked among the top accredited 

business programs in the World Resources 

Institute’s most recent survey; this was due in large 

part to the program’s creative new projects—including 

cooperative programs in India, Poland, and Mexico— 

and its research of new management tools, such as 

using Geographical Information Systems technology 

to map and manage community assets. 

Stuart also made it possible for students to participate 

in internships in China, starting in Summer 

2004; the first group traveled to Shanghai and 

Beijing to study the general banking operation 

system and the Chinese financial industry. 

This expansion of Stuart’s programs is helping to 

give students more global perspectives through experiencing 

the dynamics of developing countries and the 

tools to put into practice what they have learned. 

The Center for Professional Development 

(CPD) is meeting the changing needs of 

working professionals—and thereby 

preparing them for continued success— 

through the latest in technology-oriented 

education and training. 

Conveniently scheduled classes and course 

work designed to take professionals to the next 

level have paid off in increased enrollment and 

new programs. For example, CPD now offers 

courses for professional engineers who are 

required by the State of Illinois to update their 

knowledge in order to maintain their licenses. 

And the Manufacturing/Industrial programs 

now feature specializations in Industrial 

Facilities and Logistics. Another new initiative, 

the Center’s Information Technology & 

Management program, is becoming well-known 

for its hands-on approach and encouragement 

of student innovation. 

In addition to helping professionals 

advance their careers, the Center is 

also assisting students who are completing 

their undergraduate degrees at 

Chicago-area community colleges by 

helping them transition into degreecompletion 

programs as well as pursue 

master’s programs. CPD’s overarching 

objective with both students and working 

professionals alike is to provide them 

with the best tools available to help 

them advance.

INSTITUTE OF BUSINESS 

and interprofessional 

STUDIES 

The Jules F. Knapp Entrepreneurship 

Center was made possible by a 

$1 million gift from entrepreneur 

Jules F. Knapp and matching funds 

from university regents Robert A. 

Pritzker and Robert W. Galvin. 

The Institute of Business and 

Interprofessional Studies (IBIS) 

extends learning beyond the 

classroom and provides students 

with the tools they need to put 

ideas to work. 

Through IIT’s signature Interprofessional 

Projects (IPRO) program, the university 

has collaborated with more than two 

dozen Chicago-area organizations, giving 

students the opportunity to participate in 

one or more of the 75 projects undertaken 

during the year. Through these experiences, 

students gain problem-solving 

skills while tackling real-world technical 

and business issues. Multidisciplinary 

teams of students have worked on 

such complex projects as developing 

a non-invasive blood glucose monitor, 

creating new cell phone technologies 

and services, and shaping a business strategy for a 

portable system that generates potable water and power. 

“By participating in the IPRO program, our students 

graduate with a unique portfolio of academic and practical 

experiences that solidly prepares them for professional 

success,” says IBIS Director Dennis Roberson. 

IBIS is also providing students with leadership training 

through the IIT Leadership Academy and its various 

programs. Whether they are joining an existing company 

or starting up their own—which they learn how to 

do through IBIS’ Ed Kaplan Entrepreneurial Studies 

Program—students are able to turn ideas into reality. 

All of these initiatives are supported by IBIS’ core 

academic offerings, with particular focus on the innovative 

new undergraduate “Techno-Business” program. 

Top left: As part of a new focus on service, the IPRO program is 

increasing the number of collaborative projects conducted with 

other non-profit and community organizations, such as this one 

with the Museum of Science and Industry. Here, a student talks 

with IPRO Director Tom Jacobius about her team’s prototype exhibit, 

designed to show MSI visitors how blood-flow between mother and 

fetus changes over time. 

Now in its seventeenth year, the National 

Center for Food Safety and Technology’s 

(NCFST) successful consortium of academia, 

government, and industry continues to 

lead cutting-edge research on new food 

technologies. 

Focusing on key food safety issues, the Center has 

recently responded to international concern about 

acrylamide, a potentially toxic chemical that 

appears to be produced in foods that have been 

cooked or processed at a high temperature. The 

Center is also examining the safety of microwave 

pasteurization of eggs and the use of ultraviolet light 

to reduce pathogens in fruit juice, and is testing the 

effects of various food-processing techniques on 

food allergens. 

To further ensure food safety, the Center offers a 

course in “Security and Risk Management in the 

Food Industry,” intended for food suppliers, processors, 

and buyers who need help in developing a food 

security program. Sections of the course focus on 

key areas of concern: threat assessment; biological, 

chemical, radiological, and physical agents; food 

security prerequisite programs; and operational risk 

management developed by the FDA. 

NCFST researchers have also created a new database 

to record the genetic sequences of food allergens and 

pathogens, which will help scientists detect and identify 

in food the presence of dangerous 

organisms, such as E. coli and salmonella.

Research Outreach 

IIT leadership conducted a first-ever 

major outreach effort in Washington, 

D.C., this past summer. Showcasing 

more than a dozen cutting-edge IIT 

research projects, this event increased 

awareness of IIT among government 

and scientific leaders and decision-makers. 

IITresearch 

After bringing in a record-breaking 

$31 million in research funding, IIT faculty 

are making extraordinary advances not 

only in exploration and discovery, but also 

in application. 

Start-up companies based on IIT-developed 

technology include the following: 

• All Cell Technologies, LLC, enabling extension 

of Li-ion batteries into transportation applications. 

• Intranet Mediator, Inc., offering a solution to 

finding information in large data warehouses. 

• DEI Technologies, LLC, hoping to commercialize 

IIT technology that enhances 

the quality of medical imaging. 

IIT has also signed research agreements 

with companies interested in manufacturing 

hybrid buses for the Indian 

market and for improving movement 

of railroad cars in switching yards; and 

several companies are evaluating IIT’s 

technology for recycling discarded 

tires and plastic packaging material. 

Typically, patenting a process or 

invention is both time-consuming and 

costly, but IIT has been able to make it 

more cost-effective by using a student-staffed 

law clinic and by having inventors clearly define 

the value of their inventions to prospective users 

before undertaking the patenting process. 

From advancing biodefense 

efforts to pioneering methods of 

preventing and treating cancer, the 

work being done at IIT Research 

Institute (IITRI) is improving our 

health, our work, our world. 

Partnering with leading institutions 

throughout the Midwest, IITRI scientists 

will play an important role in the 

new Great Lakes Regional Center of 

Excellence for Biodefense and 

Emerging Infectious Diseases 

Research, which received $35 million 

in funding from the National Institute of 

Allergy and Infectious Diseases. 

One of eight centers around the country, the 

Great Lakes Center will be a multidisciplinary 

hub where researchers will work together on 

projects ranging from developing new vaccines 

against anthrax, plague, smallpox, and Ebola 

to designing advanced diagnostic approaches 

for biodefense and for emerging diseases. 

IITRI scientists are also at the forefront of 

cancer research. In May 2004, IITRI received 

$28 million in research funding from the 

National Cancer Institute, which will be used to 

study drugs for cancer diagnosis and therapy 

and to identify and develop agents for prevention.

Can a soy latte (or green tea) a day help 

keep cancer away? IITRI scientists are 

working to find out by studying the 

chemopreventive properties of soybeans 

and green tea in order to identify agents 

that inhibit or reverse cancer cell growth.

Within days of their opening, The 

McCormick Tribune Campus 

Center and State Street Village 

changed the entire landscape of 

campus life at IIT. Today, these 

buildings, alive with students 24/7, 

provide dynamic new spaces in 

which to live, study, and play. 

With enhanced dining options, a professionally 

run bookstore, ample staff and community meeting 

spaces, offices for student life—plus modern 

technology ranging from computer stations to 

computer-monitored laundry services—these 

new buildings have sparked a renewed school 

spirit seen throughout campus: 

• The number of IIT students involved in varsity 

sports has doubled over the past four years, 

thanks to the leadership of new Athletic Director 

Lee Hitchen and the introduction of varsity 

women’s and men’s soccer teams. 

• IIT students founded 25 new organizations last 

year alone, including a Lacrosse Club, Model UN, 

and Mock Trial team. 

Preserving Our Heritage 

As our new buildings continue to enhance 

student life, IIT is working to preserve our historic 

Mies van der Rohe-designed buildings. 

Leading this effort is the Mies van der Rohe 

Society, which is committed to restoring Mies’ IIT 

buildings to their original beauty and repurposing 

them to support cutting-edge academic programs. 

• The Campus Center has served as a gathering 

place for dozens of activities—many of which 

saw record participation last year—including the 

Taste of IIT, Homecoming Week, the Student 

Organization Fair, and Alumnifest.

Through example and action, IIT is 

providing the impetus to create a 

safer and more vibrant neighborhood 

around its Main Campus. 

One high-impact, long-range initiative involves 

IIT helping to create stronger schools, one 

teacher at a time, through a customized professional 

development program that educates 

Chicago Public School master teachers of high 

school mathematics and science. Program 

graduates will go on to serve as leaders in their 

schools and districts. 

Planning Success 

The City of Chicago recognized IIT’s leadership 

in the South Side community by presenting the 

university with the prestigious 2003 Burnham 

Award for Excellence in Planning. Award 

presenters lauded IIT’s innovative Main 

Campus Master Plan for its efforts to stimulate 

revitalization of the surrounding community as 

well as improve IIT’s campus infrastructure. 

A project with immediate benefits is IIT’s 

tutoring program for students in Bronzeville 

and other neighboring communities. As an 

integral part of this effort, IIT students are 

volunteering at various community activities, 

neighborhood churches, and other 

non-profit organizations. 

IIT is also demonstrating its commitment to the 

neighboring community through an employerassisted 

housing program: the university will 

help employees become homeowners in Park 

Boulevard, a new 1,200-unit development of 

condos, townhouses, and single-family homes 

along State Street from 35th to 39th streets. 

One teacher, one student, one resident at a time, 

IIT, in partnership with its neighbors, is helping 

to create a more vibrant South Side community.

Total Freshmen and Transfer Students 

The university’s financial results for fiscal year 2004 reflect continued strengthening of the institution’s 

financial base as IIT continues to follow a disciplined operating plan to ensure academic 

excellence as well as financial stability. 

Total assets increased by $21 million to $541 million, primarily the result of additional investment in 

facilities. IIT’s endowment reached a record level of $224 million, benefiting from improved market 

conditions, added contributions, and the sale of IIT Research Institute (IITRI) assets. Endowment 

performance was very strong with an investment return of 18.6%, more than 5% higher than the 

NACUBO average. Longer-term annual returns of 9.7% remain strong. 

The increase in physical properties includes the opening of the new, widely acclaimed McCormick 

Tribune Campus Center at a cost of $55.4 million. Renovations of laboratories and athletic facilities 

also enhanced the IIT student experience. And, at the cutting edge of student housing design, is IIT’s 

new Helmut Jahn-designed State Street Village. This 367-bed residence hall is owned and financed 

by the State Street Village Corporation, an independent 501(c)(3) corporation.

STRONG GRADUATE ENROLLMENT 

New Graduate Students 




Revitalization of IIT’s surrounding neighborhood continues at a brisk pace and Park Boulevard, a 

new, mixed-income community, will soon rise at the corner of State and 35th streets. The university is 

providing financial assistance to employees to enable them to buy units in the new development. 

Coming on the heels of the successful Michigan Place townhouse and condominium development, 

Park Boulevard will represent another major step in the transformation of the neighborhood. 

Net tuition revenue grew by 8% to $65.3 million with the endowment providing an additional $18 million 

to support operating activities. Undergraduate enrollment grew by 8% and is expected to reach 

2,500 by the end of the decade. Overall, university enrollment now totals 6,167. 

INCREASING LAW SCHOOL ENROLLMENT 

Total Chicago-Kent Enrollment 




The reorganized IITRI focused on life sciences research and showed continued growth, helping to 

bring the university’s total research volume to more than $50 million. Life sciences growth is part of 

the university operating plan and includes development of a research park on the southern end of 

campus. This growth in enrollment and research is propelling IIT into the twenty-first century— 

ensuring that we will continue to transform lives and invent the future.
