| Additional Information: | In 1980, MGIC’s campus expanded across the street. Plaza East (330 East Kilbourn Avenue) consists of two six-sided, fourteen-story concrete-and-glass towers, designed by Chicago-based Murphy-Jahn. The two-story glass-and-steel “Crystal Colonnade,” filled with shops and restaurants, joins the two towers. HUNZINGER-INLAND WAS THE BUILDER. |
