Description
In this episode, Cherise is joined by Emily Ray, AIA, Project Architect at Wheeler Kearns Architects in Chicago and AIA Chicago 2024 Dubin Family Young Architect Award winner. They discuss the Broadway Youth Center Project, also in Chicago.
You can see the project here as you listen along.
Planted in Chicago’s Lakeview neighborhood, just steps from the Sheridan Red Line station, the Broadway Youth Center (BYC) stands as a safe and welcoming space for the city’s LGBTQIA+ youth. Operated by Howard Brown Health and built with a trauma-informed design, this five-story, brick-clad building is more than just a healthcare facility—it’s a home, a haven, and a symbol of community care.
