Relocation
As its property lease with Northwestern University for the lot at Lincoln and Davis streets was due to end in 2014, in early 2000 the school began looking for another Evanston location that would allow room to continue a trend of enrollment growth that had occurred over the previous 10 years, update technology and accommodate a larger, regulation-sized gymnasium.
Roycemore began classes at 1200 Davis Street in Evanston on January 6, 2012. The 3 acre lot, adjacent to Evanston's Alexander Park, was the location of a 55,000-square-foot building that was once the headquarters of the General Board of Pension Funds for the United Methodist Church. Roycemore completely renovated the building and added a nearly 8,000-square-foot gymnasium.
