Experience Mies Campus

��ƵAPP’s Mies Campus represents the best of Chicago: inspiring architecture, gorgeous views of downtown Chicago, tree-lined pathways, and convenient access to Lake Michigan (less than a mile away). An architectural gem just minutes from downtown, the campus’ many accolades include recognition as one of the 200 most important works of architecture in the United States by the American Institute of Architects.

Located in the historic Bronzeville neighborhood, Mies Campus quickly connects you with one of the fastest-growing tech hubs in the U.S. via the Red Line “L” and Green Line elevated “L” train, the Metra Rock Island line trains, Chicago Transit Authority buses, Divvy bikes, and much more.
