The Century Building is a high rise office building in Chicago's ​Loop. It was designed by Holabird & Roche, and was built in 1915. ​It is a contributing property to the Loop Retail Historic

District.


In 2022, the building was proposed to be demolished with more ​debates in 2023. In response to this, the studio project provided ​a brief for repurposing the building to a student dormitory for ​the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
