Campus housing is sold out. We still have availability at Chicago City Centre and InterContinental Chicago.

UIC’s two newest residence halls -- Marie Robinson Hall (MRH) and Thomas Beckham Hall (TBH) -- will serve as headquarters for Symposium attendees who wish to stay on campus. These facilities, part of the new South Campus development, are located at or near the intersection of Halsted and Maxwell Streets, about 5 blocks south of Symposium headquarters, Chicago Circle Center (750 S. Halsted).

Each guest will have an individual private bedroom (single room) in a 4-bedroom apartment with a shared living room, kitchen and two bathrooms. The private bedrooms, which can be locked, include a twin-sized extra long bed, a dresser, desk with shelf-mounted light, a desk chair, and full closet. (Guests must provide their own hangers.) The kitchen is equipped with an oven/stove, full size refrigerator/freezer, sink, and cabinets. (Guest must provide their own cooking, microwave, and eating utensils.) Each bathroom has a shower, sink, and toilet. The apartments are air-conditioned, with each thermostat controlling two bedrooms. Each building has a TV room and laundry facilities.

Standard linen will be provided, including blanket, pillow, pillowcase, sheets, towels and a washcloth. Each guest will also receive a plastic drinking cup and bar of soap. Maid service is not provided. In addition to those items already mentioned, guests who so desire will also need to provide their own telephones, paper products (facial tissues and paper towels), and laundry supplies. Internet services are not available to guests.

If you have names of other guests who prefer to be assigned to same apartment, you may list them with your reservation request. Every effort will be made to group people as requested, but please encourage others in your group to register for the Symposium and make their campus housing reservations at the same time to ensure they are on the list for room assignments.

Campus Parking: On request, arrangements can be made for residential guests to have access to campus parking at a reasonable weekly rate, including in/out privileges. Inquires about this service should be directed to the UIC Office of Conferences and Institutes.

Check-in time is after 1:00 p.m. Check-out time is by 11:00 a.m.

Rates (per person):

  • 5-night package (minimum stay: Sun-Thu, July 25-29): $285
  • Additional nights (maximum of 2, for arrival on Sat, July 24 and/or departure on Sat, July 31): $55/night

To Request a Reservation
