Mies Society has raised funds to preserve our Mies-designed buildings and campus. Our current project on Tech North—located at 3410 S. State Street—is undergoing a design evaluation process to determine the scope and extent of work needed for the building’s exterior and facades. You can learn more and contribute to this facade restoration here.
