Named here by University of Chicago’s own Wikipedia article

Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at University of Chicago, where neither Wikidata nor the production’s own article records it. That is the weakest evidence on this atlas, so these get no pin on the map and stay out of the downloads — the sentence is quoted in full below each one so you can judge it.
