North Central College has proposed building a gateway sign on Washington Street to give its Naperville campus higher visibility in downtown Naperville.
Kathleen West, an attorney representing the college, said the college bought the property near Washington and Aurora Avenue, south of the DuPage River and north of the Burger King restaurant, in 2012. It worked with the city to raze the existing building there and remediate the land for use as a future park.Now college officials would like permission to erect an arched gateway sign that would sit atop columns similar to those found throughout the campus, West said.
“The college acquired this property in part to establish visibility along Washington Street. The proposed sign will establish the necessary visibility,” West said. West said the college needs to know if it can incorporate the gateway into the park plans. “If not, then the college will need to assess its plans for this property,” she said.
In addition the park/gateway endorsement, the commission also recommended council approval for the rezoning North Central needs for its property at 5 S. Loomis St. If approved, it will change from single-family residential to college/university.The college purchased the home in 2021 and the residents moved out last fall. Its interior has been modified to accommodate North Central’s Shimer Great Books School and its graduate school offices.
