This is the first time that Roosevelt University has opened its interior for Open House Chicago. It is a rare treat, as this building is never open to the public. The university occupies a portion of the tripartite Auditorium Building: the original Auditorium Hotel, Auditorium Theater, and office building. The architectural firm of Adler and Sullivan had its offices in the tower portion of the building.
