Community Engagement Ideas
- I support arts and culture in our community. Future campus planning should prioritize creative artist-led initiatives.
- How many decades has this hideous lot been here when it could be an expansion of loyola's wonderful urban farming initiatives?
- We need more outdoor study spaces! So many students flood to this beautiful quad.
- I would love to see this intersection improve to better suppuration pedestrians crossings. Particularly b/c of the L station, there is a big need to cross the street
- The best way to utilize this place is the make the roof an attraction for LUC students and Chicago citizens. Call it “Roof Garden by the lake”. No tear-down is needed.
- Loyola has an opportunity for multi-generational impact among some of the youngest generations - Gen Alpha and Gen Z - by instilling service, opportunity, and collaboration between a Catholic elementary school (archdiocesan) and a powerful Catholic university. The possibilities are endless and potentially impactful.
Community Engagement Concerns
- I believe it's critical that Loyola Univ continue to commit to benefit for the greater community. The Ignatian Mission Center Food Pantry must be an integral part of the planning between LU and the Mission Center. The Ignatius roots are deep in the community and food insecurity remains a significant concern.
- Cudahy Library needs more than just one entrance! It is so incredibly frustrating to have to enter through the single IC entrance, especially when it is cold or raining
- This building is not ADA compliant. The entry doors are, but interior doors (including bathrooms, classrooms, and the academic advising office on the fourth floor)
- Community garden space is so valuable. Please do not build another soulless building or develop this land. Everyone should have a chance to be able to grow their own food. As a resident of Rogers Park, I feel the need to speak up about what the University keeps doing - buying up property and turning it into soulless college campus buildings that do nothing to beautify the area and instead are a modern eyesore to the community.
