For 25 years, Friend Health has been an irreplaceable source of uplifting the Medically Underserved Areas (MUA) and Health Professional Shortage Areas (HPSA) within Chicago neighborhoods.
In 1968, NU students occupied the Bursar’s office to protest the campus experience for black students. Many of their demands were met by the administration—including a place to call their own. Thus, the house at 1914 Sheridan Road was officially designated by the University as the location for the Department of Afro-American Student Affairs, and also became a gathering place for black students. Effectively, it was more than just a house; it was a symbol of solidarity and “the fight for equity and justice on campus.”
The new event center is part of a redevelopment plan to transform the surrounding neighborhood into a vibrant entertainment district with new dining and entertainment venues, hotels and streetscapes.
Moody Nolan, in collaboration with Design-Build partner Ujamaa-Power Joint Venture, designed and developed this new 160,000 sq. ft. high school located in Chicago’s Englewood community. The new school will help transform the landscape of Chicago’s Southside; envisioned as a modern campus intended to replace an existing, aging high school located on the site.
Starting with a feasibility study led by Moody Nolan, the project consists of a phased renovation of an existing 127,000 sq. ft. college with a brand new athletic wing addition and new exterior play fields.
