The David Rubenstein Forum is a striking new facility designed to convene scholars, researchers, and dignitaries from around the world for intellectual engagement and the pursuit of knowledge and understanding. The Forum fulfills the need for a university-wide resource in which to convene meetings, conferences, and discussions, and it is open to all UChicago faculty and staff. The Forum is consistent with the best of UChicago, celebrating the power of ideas and bringing together great minds from across disciplines. A physical expression of the University of Chicago’s academic character, it was born from a collaborative process that included UChicago faculty, staff, administration, and board members. The facility offers a bold and inspiring alternative to uninspiring hotel ballrooms and traditional conference center meeting rooms. It is thoughtfully designed to host events that promote inquiry, the open exchange of ideas, and the power of convening.
