St. Ignatius College Prep, colloquially known as Ignatius, Iggy or SICP, is a coeducational Jesuit secondary school located in Chicago, Illinois and founded in 1869 by Fr. Arnold Damen, S.J. The school enjoys a selective, academic reputation. It is located in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Chicago.
The school's main building was designed by the architect Toussaint Menard in the Second French Empire style, is one of the few buildings in Chicago that predates the Great Fire of 1871. The main edifice is on the National Register of Historic Places and was deemed a Chicago Landmark in 1987 after an extensive restoration. The 19 acre (77,000 m²) campus is located on Chicago's West Side, adjacent to the campus of the University of Illinois at Chicago.
Features of the campus besides the 1869 building, include the Richard H. Driehaus "1895" Building, the Chicago Center, the McLaughlin Center and its 370 seat McLaughlin Theatre (with an interior modeled after several European opera houses)....
