Story

The Daniel F. and Ada L. Rice Campus is a satellite campus of Illinois Institute of Technology's Main Campus in Chicago. The Rice Campus caters to working professional graduate and upper-level undergraduate students with course offerings in information technology and management, manufacturing technology and management, computer science, engineering, science, business, and information technology.

To meet the growing technological needs of Chicago's west suburban business and industrial community, Illinois Institute of Technology began offering classes in temporary space in Glen Ellyn in 1986. Following a gift from the Rice Foundation of 19 acres of prime real estate in south Wheaton, the first building on the Daniel F. and Ada L. Rice Campus opened in January of 1991.

The 54,000 square foot state-of-the-art building features extensive computer facilities, engineering laboratories, television studio classrooms, traditional classrooms and an electronic library.
