Projects
- Charter Grade School and Day Care
The client for this section is the Community Villages Ltd. This group
desires to build a charter grade school and attached day care. The
proposed site location is near the intersection of North Avenue and
32nd Street. The lack of large contiguous parcels of land will most
likely require a two-story solution. It is anticipated that the school
will serve grades K3 through 5. The school will have offices,
classrooms, a multipurpose room (gymnasium and cafeteria), a kitchen,
and other typical rooms associated with a school of this size
(approximately 34,000 square feet).
- Cudahy Transit Center
The client for this section is the City of Cudahy. The proposed project
is the extension of the Chicago Metra line that will connect near
Mitchell Field Airport. The proposed location is south of Layton Avenue
on the present railroad tracks. A site map will be provided. A bus
trolley will be needed to take Metra passengers back and forth from the
airport to the Transit Center. The Cudahy Transit Center will have all
of the functions of any typical metra transit center. In addition, the
client wishes to add a retail component, day care and restaurant to the
Transit Center. The client desires students to come up with their own
retail solutions to be incorporated into the Cudahy Metra Transit
Center part of their design. The City of Cudahy desires this proposed
retail component to add an economic development activity to the Transit
Center.
- Kenosha Community Center
The client for this development is the Community Center Development
Committee located in the City of Kenosha. The proposed development will
be a non-profit Community Center located on a 65-acre site on the
outskirts of Kenosha. Various non-profit groups are to be located in
this Community Center. A sampling of the groups targeted for the site
include: the Boys and Girls Club, Kenosha Council on Family and Aging,
Senior Action Center, Meals on Wheels, and the Little League. The
Community Center will offer a wide range of spaces such as a gymnasium,
a kitchen, a series of educational spaces, day care, and a banquet
room. The total square footage could approach 80,000 square feet.
