The Rush campus is located just a few miles west of downtown, where buildings designed by some of the world's greatest architects -- Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Frank Lloyd Wright and Louis Sullivan -- grace the 29-mile skyline along Lake Michigan. Many famous cultural institutions, such as the Lyric Opera, the Art Institute, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and the Museum of Contemporary Art are easily accessible.
