Burnham Centennial Celebration

Welcome to the web page of DePaul University’s 1909 Burnham Plan Centennial Celebrations!  We are pleased to report that many individuals throughout campus are supporting us as we make final plans for the courses and events that will take place during the celebrations between March 2008 and September 2009.  Whether you are part of the faculty, staff, or student body, or are a graduate or friend of the university, we hope you will get involved in our expanding effort.

The university’s centennial celebrations are being coordinated by a faculty-led process facilitated by the staff of the Chaddick Institute for Metropolitan Development.  We hope to make our university one of the most foremost contributors to the city-wide effort to celebrate the anniversary of Daniel Burnham and Edward Bennett’s famous plan.  Indeed, the civic movement launched in 2004 that began preparations for the centenary grew out of an effort housed at DePaul, and we are working the closely with Chicago Metropolis 2020, which is providing executive leadership on the project.  Be sure to visit the Burnham Plan 100 website for more information on this effort.

We are especially grateful to faculty members Paul Jaskot and Mark Pohlad of DePaul’s art history department for their continuing support on this effort

Please contact the Chaddick Institute for information about how to become involved!
