The John Ekstrom Studios

An empty canvas with endless possibilities

Available for the first time in four decades: The downtown, Champaign studios of renowned regional abstract expressionist artist and former University of Illinois professor John Ekstrom. 

The ultimate in flexibility

Located at 69 E. University Avenue, Champaign, the block-deep John Ekstrom Studios offers your commercial, retail, office, or light manufacturing business about 2600 square feet of floor space, including a nearly 1,000 sq ft forward bay off of University Avenue for client reception or retail, and a 900 sq ft rear-facing bay at 68 E. Chester Street with an 8' overhead door and enclosed dock--or indoor parking!  The two 12'+ ceiling bays are separated by a small private living / conference space /bedroom, with adjacent bathroom and kitchenette, just shy of 800 sq ft, all with just a touch of genuine mid-century modern / Scandinavian design elements.  

The property boasts 400 amp electrical service.

A rare opportunity for your own artistic vision

The John Ekstrom Studios are located adjacent to downtown, Champaign's new "The Yards" development, and are easy walking distance to downtown's restaurants, pubs, shopping, and entertainment. The John Ekstrom Studios are a block from the Illinois Terminal--Champaign's local and regional transportation hub (Amtrak rail, CU's Mass Transit and Greyhound regional bus service). And the University of Illinois campus is a 3-minute drive or bus ride away. See the images below to get an idea of what The John Ekstrom Studios can do for you and your business.
