The University of Chicago School of Business + Rockefeller Chapel

The Chicago Graduate School of Business (GSB) - Booth School of Business Building by Raphael Vinoly, 2004



























Took inspiration from the Rockefeller Memorial Chapel on campus, built in the 1920s and having the second largest Carillon (operable bell tower) and thus the second largest and heaviest musical instrument in the world.  Dedicated to John D. Rockefeller Jr.'s mother.
