University of Chicago Graduate School of Business

The Graduate School of Business at the University of Chicago was thoughtfully designed to complement the surrounding campus architecture. Larson Engineering’s Missouri office played a key role in this elegant addition by providing structural calculations for the steel connection design supporting the 37,500-square-foot Winter Garden. This striking 83-foot-tall steel structure features a skylight roof and glazed enclosure, serving as a central gathering space filled with natural light. Larson’s contribution helped harmonize architectural vision with structural integrity, shaping a space that celebrates openness, clarity, and thoughtful engineering.
