Located on Chicago’s South Side, the Arts and Rec Center at Ellis Park includes a full-size gymnasium, an indoor pool, art and education club rooms, a fitness center and studio, music and theater performance spaces, and space for after school programs for local elementary and high school students.

The School at Marygrove building serves grades K-5 and plays an important role in establishing a foundational, collaborative educational environment. Classroom spaces provide the space needed to enable a first-class education and provide visual transparency to common spaces throughout the school to foster the teaching mission of the P-20 vision.

As students move through the grades in The School at Marygrove, they encounter increasingly open and flexible common spaces that allow the educational activities to expand from the defined classroom spaces into open and dynamic group settings. Color plays an important role in establishing unique identities for individual classrooms and creating a collective palette aligned with the broader educational campus.

This 40,000 square foot multi-use facility developed by TCB provides a public library, child care center, and community meeting spaces improving non-residential services and amenities within the Altgeld Gardens/Murray Homes community.
