St. Laurence Elementary School will be converted into a new 40,000-square-foot arts center on Chicago’s South Side by the Rebuild Foundation. The objective of this project is to redeem the interior and exterior spaces, turning the school into a cultural center that will open its doors in 2024. The expansion of the leadership team to hire an operations strategist, a special collections librarian and a director of finance are indications of the foundation’s growing investment in community. St. Laurence Elementary School has been designed with the goal of supporting artists of color and their livelihoods while bringing new cultural resources to the South Side community.
