University Hall is the seat of the University of Illinois Chicago administration. Located at 601 S. Morgan Street, it is 338 feet (103 m) tall, making it the tallest building on Chicago's West Side.[2] An unusual feature of its design is that instead of setbacks, it actually widens in two stages, so that it is twenty feet (6 m) wider at the top floor than at its base.
