I'll post a better image later, but it's of a Loyola University academic building combined with a "luxury senior housing" tower.

I don't know exactly why it was done this way. I realize this deviates from the theme of private-public relationship since the school is actually private, and the entire project was going to be mixed use from the beginning and could have replaced the school with offices.

And just for kicks, this is a school by my apartment that was constructed this past year. Dense, but extremely expensive to build....and a on very valuable real estate. It didn't help that it was right above a subway line. Parking is underground, recreation is on the roof.
