The Paper Chase

Growth Through Absorption

With 95 employees and nine campus print centers, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign Printing Services is one of the country's largest university in-plants. It ranked 25th on the IPG Top 50, and 7th in our December ranking of top university in-plants.

Though the in-plant got its start way back in 1900, it wasn't until 13 years ago that its growth began in earnest. Back then there were 37 independent departmental copy and print centers across campus.
