As part of UrbanWorks’ 30th anniversary celebrations, we are featuring 30 projects from over the years that highlight our breadth of experience and passion for the built environment!

The two-story, 43,000-square-foot facility at South California and West 47th Place in Brighton Park, Chicago, offers enhanced medical, behavioral health, senior programs, and a family medicine residency for community-based Esperanza. Covering a full city block, it features a civic plaza with an existing facility to the north. Its vibrant design showcases yellow aluminum panels, contrasting with ribbed metal rainscreens and glass. These panels prominently mark the building’s second floor and indicate the main entrance, giving the structure a dynamic feel. The building offers spaces for community health, education, and recreation, enhancing the complex’s services.
