A tall concrete pillar bearing the name UIC, once attached to the second-story walkway in this location, marks the site of Turner Gate. When the Circle campus opened in 1965, an eight-foot-high brick wall, punctuated by eight iron gates, surrounded most of the area bounded by Harrison, Halsted, Taylor, and Morgan. Turner Gate was the entry point Turner Gate 1965 for those reaching campus via the “L.”

The gate in this location disappeared, so did the name. Only remnants of the original walls remain.
