The BDC is a community initiative dedicated to providing counseling and other social services to the Bronzeville neighborhood and all of Chicago.  The existing building and the adjacent lot were transformed to create a welcoming environment that is also secure.

​

The contemporary addition acts as a beacon of change in a neighborhood that has fallen into disrepair.  It also houses the main vertical circulation of the building, the grand stair, while displaying the activity of the building through activated landings.
