Illinois Icons: Max Abramovitz
University of Illinois alumnus Max Abramovitz created spaces for the campus to come together. His firm, Harrison and Abramovitz, created the United Nations complex as well as the Philharmonic Hall at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, both in New York City. His experience with Lincoln Center inspired his work on Krannert Center for Performing Arts at Illinois. The university also tapped Abramovitz to create a larger, multipurpose entertainment venue. His design of a 400-foot diameter, unsupported dome for what is now known as the State Farm Center was a groundbreaking achievement. The program was produced by Tim Hartin, Kaitlin Southworth and Alison Davis Wood for the University of Illinois Department of Athletics and Office of Public Affairs.
