UNO Galewood Charter School

Project Location: Chicago, IL

Architect: UrbanWorks, Ltd.

The United Neighborhood Organization Galewood Charter School is a three story, 18 classroom, $21 million K-8 school.  A notable design feature is the dramatic sloped roof on the southern end of the school.  The roof surface has small slit-like windows to admit natural light while glass walls enclose the space beneath, creating a two-story, multiuse space topped by a third floor library.
