Erikson’s campus was built specifically for our educational, research, and clinical activities. With nearly 75,000 square feet on three floors, the campus features high-tech classrooms and seminar spaces, teaming rooms and group study rooms, and space for research and programs that directly serve children and families.
The building’s two-story dedicated lobby entrance and prominent street signage give Erikson striking visibility in Chicago’s vibrant River North neighborhood.
