result: $5,000
Mies van der Rohe's earliest master plan for the IIT campus (1939) included a Student Union and Administrative Building but plans, elevations and sections weren’t drawn up by his office until almost a decade later.
The design for Student Union Building had changed as the campus was revised. Ultimately, it was never constructed.
Signed with title block and revision date to one sheet.
