Dome

View looking up and into an entry court on the west elevation; State Street Village is a dormitory for the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago, Illinois. Designed by Helmut Jahn of Murphy-Jahn Associates, the dormitory is IIT's newest, completed in 2003. Although it appears that SSV (as it is commonly referred to by students) is a single continuous building, SSV is actually three different buildings built next to each other and sharing the same facade; they are commonly referred to as "north", "middle", and "south". Each building consists of five stories, with dorms on the "north" and "south" sides of the building and an elevator and common area spitting the two sections in the middle.
