Architects: JGMA Location: Chicago, Illinois, USA Architect of Record: Ghafari Associates Completion Date: September 2011 Owner: Instituto del Progreso Latino (IPL) Design Team: Juan Gabriel Moreno, Cosmin Vrajitoru, Jason Nuttelman, John Rausch, David Ruffing, Linda Chavez, Michael Cady Design Builder: McShane Construction Project Area: 100, 000 sf To develop the project, the team chose a controversial site: an abandoned building inserted in an economically depressed area on the southwest of Chicago. The reasons behind this decision were not only to reuse the vacant deteriorating building structure, but more so to continue the legacy of IDPL: to reactivate its origin neighborhood through the creation of a master plan that would connect its founding building with the new school; creating more than an economical engine but also an anchor for social change.
