Worth a glance, not a chew.
Summary
An informational presentation to the Evanston Preservation Commission outlined options for adding a stair and elevator tower to the west side of the historic building at 1800 Sheridan Road, which houses Garrett Evangelical Theological Seminary. Commissioners provided extensive feedback urging reduced bulk, clearer separation from the historic house, consideration of interior elevator siting, and use of lighter materials such as glass. The project team will return with further studies based on the feedback.
