GSD Alumni Deep Tunnel Tour | Chicago

The Metropolitan Water Reclamation District’s Deep Tunnel is one of the nation’s largest pieces of critical infrastructure, playing a vital role in managing stormwater surges in our region. Facility Engineers provided an in-depth explanation of the operation, and we visited the deep tunnel operations pumping station. This tour gave architects, landscape architects, and urban planners a better understanding of the scale of this regional challenge and its impact on people, their homes, and their neighborhoods.

Attendees gained exclusive access to the facility and had the opportunity to network with other professionals. This educational tour provided valuable insights into stormwater management and its importance.

Organized by the GSD Alumni Council with special thanks to Juan M. Villafañe (MArch ’00) and Ethan Lassiter (MUP’15) for hosting.
