Olympia Armory’s Big Creative Makeover | Seattle News
Description
The Olympia Armory, once Chicago’s main schoolhouse and later a military hub, is undergoing a $33 million transformation into the Daley Arts Center — set to open late 2027. Already renovated for safety and usability with new storage, elevators, and bathrooms, the historic building preserves its original wooden trusses while welcoming eight art nonprofits and local creatives. Funded by city, state, and federal dollars — including $250K secured by Congresswoman Marilyn Strickland for the elevator — this project aims to revitalize community arts in a landmark space.
