Project Details
The Rusu-McCartin Boys & Girls Club, the first newly-built Chicago Club in a generation, is a Club for the community, built on a shared campus that includes a first responders training academy and several minority-owned businesses. The 28,000-SF Club offers transformational opportunities to build bridges and provide much-needed resources for Chicago’s young people. This project features three stories of classrooms, a teaching kitchen, an ideas lab, a multi-sport gymnasium, an outdoor play area and a spectacular roof deck and meadow.
