Northern Baptist Theological Seminary, Robert and Carl Lindner Conference Center

Sited at the edge of a picturesque pond and physically engaged with the water, the Robert and Carl Lindner Conference Center is the newest facility constructed on the Northern Baptist Theological Seminary campus.
This facility was designed as a signature building for the seminary with the intent of establishing a strong visual identity along a major arterial road in the western suburbs of Chicago. The major exterior building components include curved precast panels, aluminum-clad window wall, metal standing-seam roof and brick masonry to match existing campus facilities.
The center serves both seminary programs and other community events. Consisting of a large assembly room, there also are seminar/breakout spaces, a speaker’s lounge, administrative office, a catering kitchen and reception lobby. The center can host events ranging from lecture series and worship services to day-long conferences and gala celebrations.
