Probably awhile... they only awarded the job to OMA in May. To go through a full design process and get a permit on a project of that magnitude would probably take 16-18 months.
And that’s assuming UIC already has the funding to pay full design fees and the construction cost... if there are any issues or even hiccups with funding, expect a longer timeline.
The good news is that, as a combination of state funding and philanthropy, this project is probably well-insulated from economic cycles. Everyone seems to think a recession is coming, but it probably won’t affect this project much if any.
