The Human Resources Environment at UIC

Many independently managed administrative units exist within the Campus environment. UIC Human Resources partners with these administrative units, colleges, and the University of Illinois Hospital & Clinics to coordinate Human Resources services, programs and policies.

Located on the west side of Campus, UIC HR is housed in the Human Resources Building (HRB), which is one of the oldest buildings on Campus.
