Former Director of Cranbrook Academy of Art and Art Museum, Dean of Tulane University School of Architecture, and Editor-in-Chief of Architecture Magazine Joins Illinois Tech After Extensive Search
CHICAGO - illiNews -- Illinois Institute of Technology today announced that architecture and academic thought leader Reed Kroloff will serve as the next Rowe Family Dean of its College of Architecture, stepping into a role first filled by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe more than 80 years ago.
"The university community is thrilled to welcome Reed and the unique voice and vision he will bring to Illinois Tech's historic leadership in architecture," said Peter Kilpatrick, Illinois Tech's provost and senior vice president for academic affairs. "With more than 30 years of professional experience as an educator, critic, design practitioner, and consultant, he is the right person to guide our College of Architecture to a new level of eminence nationally and internationally."
Currently, Kroloff is principal of jones|kroloff, an influential design-strategies firm. Previously, he served as director of the renowned Cranbrook Academy of Art and Art Museum in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, dean of the Tulane University School of Architecture in New Orleans during and after Hurricane Katrina, and editor-in-chief of Architecturemagazine when it was the nation's leading design publication.
"As an unapologetic modernist, I'm excited to be part of an institution that has been—and remains—so central to the history and practice of architecture," said Kroloff. "There is no more significant laboratory for modern architecture than this school and its campus, nor a more auspicious moment to join Chicago's only design- and tech-focused university than during the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Bauhaus."
