The list of Northwestern University buildings encompasses the two main campuses of Northwestern University, located in Evanston, Illinois and Chicago, Illinois. The Evanston site contains approximately 150 buildings on its 240-acre (0.97 km2) campus. The downtown Chicago campus, of approximately 25 acres (0.10 km2), is home to the Feinberg School of Medicine and Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law. Northwestern University also has an 11-acre (0.04 km2) campus in Education City, a satellite campus complex in Doha, Qatar.
Evanston campus
[edit]Northwestern's original Evanston, Illinois campus, located just north of Chicago on the shores of Lake Michigan, can be traced to 1851, one year after the institution's founding. The campus still hosts the majority of Northwestern's undergraduate programs, as well as several of its graduate and professional schools. Unlike many prestigious universities of the time, whose campuses were iteratively master-planned, buildings on the Evanston Campus range heavily in both architectural style and date, due in part to the university's historically fluctuating finances. The earliest buildings are of Victorian, Gothic-adjacent, Neoclassical, and Renaissance-Revival styles. Numerous buildings on the Evanston campus constructed from the early to mid-twentieth century, including lecture halls, student residences, and the university's flagship library, were commissioned in the Collegiate Gothic style by notable American campus architect James Gamble Rogers. In the postwar period, numerous brutalist projects were undertaken, including an expansion of the main library by Walter Netsch. Many of these buildings are located on the Northwestern University Lakefill, a 1964 landfill extension of Northwestern's campus into Lake Michigan. As the university's first and primary campus, Evanston has seen major development in the past decade, including the construction of innovative new projects for its Music, Business, and Athletic programs designed by leading architecture firms.

The Ward Memorial Building, named for the famous national department store enterprise of its namesake Chicago salesman Aaron Montgomery Ward, was the first "academic skyscraper" to ever have been constructed by a university.[57] Alongside other Gamble Rogers buildings at the Chicago campus, the 20-story Ward Building was given Landmark Status by the Chicago City Council in 2014 for its unique style amongst other skyscrapers and relevant historical significance.[58][59] It houses comprehensive medical education facilities and in 2019 opened the Simpson Querrey Biomedical Research Center.[60] |

Superior Street | A mid-century modernist tower housing the departments of Nephrology/Hypertension, Pediatrics, Pharmacology, and Neuroscience, the School of Medicine's Interdepartmental Neuroscience Program (NUIN), and its Center for Microbiology-Immunology and academic press. Alongside multiple buildings on Northwestern's Evanston Campus, the Searle Medical Research Building is named for Francis Searle. | |
Morton Medical Research Building | 1955[63] | 310 E. Superior Street | A more contemporary Gothic Revival skyscraper with modernist elements adjacent to the Ward Memorial Building.
