University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

Section II – 5

Finally, this area is recognized as the center for arts on campus. It benefits from the traffic associated with the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts, Spurlock Museum and the campus’ music and dance buildings. The surrounding neighborhood is known to be active with students and faculty during the day and active with an art consumer in the evening. Presently, there is only limited food service, retail and nonuniversity entertainment within close proximity of the development.

Campus Town

Campus Town begins at the intersection of Green and 4th Streets and travels easterly to Wright Street and the Alma Mater sculpture on the southeast corner of Wright and Green. The section of Green from Neil Street to 4th effectively feels like an extension of Campus Town to the west due to the similarity in its composition of tenants. There are few national tenants in this area except for fast food options. Further, no full-line grocery store is located in Campus Town; Walgreen’s provides a typical and limited grocery selection. While this is not a comprehensive listing, below is a sampling of the restaurants, retailers and services located on Green Street close to the campus: Retailers/Restaurants Burger King Chocolate Café EB Games Follett Gameday Hometown Pantry IHOP Joe’s Brewery The intrinsic difficulty with the neighborhood is that it is an amalgamation of various landlords; it is more difficult to control as the financial self-interests of these owners will generally supersede the cultural and commercial interests of the area as a whole.
