Facilities
Erikson's current campus is a new facility built specifically for our educational, research, and clinical activities. With nearly 75,000 square feet on three floors, the campus doubled our space to accommodate growing enrollment and programs. The campus features high-tech classrooms and seminar spaces; a significant expansion of the Edward Neisser Library; a computer training room and a computer lab; teaming rooms and group
study rooms; and new space for research and programs that directly serve children and families. Our striking, two-story dedicated lobby entrance and prominent street signage bring Erikson a new visibility in downtown Chicago. We moved into the building on Aug. 1, 2008.
Access for the disabled
Erikson is barrier-free and fully accessible. If you need assistance or accommodation, please contact the Erikson reception desk at (312) 755-2250 in advance or upon arrival.
