Flu Shots for Our Staff and Guests

Walgreens and students from Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science in North Chicago provided flu shots at the Hospitality Center for staff and our guests!

Northwestern University Human Centered Design Project at the Hospitality Center

A group of engineering students at Northwestern working on a project that would help people experiencing homelessness visited the Hospitality Center to get input from our guests. They made a rolling device that
looks like a large suitcase and opens up to become a bed! It also has space for people to store their belongings and it can be locked to a bike rack! Enjoy pictures of the first attempt!
