Chicago’s Web site took on a new look Monday, when the University launched a test version of its new design. The new site aims to draw visitors to a slew of continuously refreshed content, most of which focuses on storytelling, including photographs and video that detail faculty research, alumni projects, and student activities.

The redesigned site also aims to provide more intuitive paths to information and to improve its accessibility to those browsing on devices such as smartphones. In April the new site will replace the old one. Until then, site administrators are seeking feedback and potential story ideas to feature.
