 The Institute of Design, once housed on the Main Campus in S.R.Crown Hall, also phased out its undergraduate programs and moved downtown in the early 1990s.Although not used in official communication, the nickname "Illinois Tech" has long been a favorite of students, inspiring the name of the student newspaper; (renamed in 1928 from "Armour Tech News" to "TechNews"), and the former mascot of the university's collegiate sports teams, the Techawks.
