Mies retired in 1958, and Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) and Schmidt, Garden and Erikson took over as the campus architects. SOM architect Walter Netsch designed two buildings, including the new library that Mies had wished to create, while SOM's Myron Goldsmith designed four buildings. Schmidt, Garden & Erikson designed four buildings for the IIT Research Institute during the 1960s.
