Champaign - Innovative architectural projects will be featured in two new exhibitions on view Feb. 3-25 at I space, the Chicago gallery of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

“ACSA Award Winning Projects: 2000-2005 School of Architecture” features nine projects by nine current and former U. of I. students. Illinois architecture professor and exhibition curator Kevin Hinders said the projects all received awards in competitions co-sponsored by the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture and other groups representing various construction-materials industries.

The projects range from designs for an airport, museum and performing-arts center to designs for the city of Sedona, Ariz.

An opening reception is scheduled to take place from 6-8 p.m. on Feb. 3 at the gallery, 230 W. Superior St., Chicago.

I space gallery hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
