Campaign for Altgeld and Illini Halls

The University of Illinois has embarked on a project to restore and renovate Altgeld Hall and replace its neighbor across Wright Street, Illini Hall, with a new building. An investment in these spaces will directly benefit thousands of students and faculty members.
