CHICAGO — Summit Design + Build has completed construction of a Teen Living Programs facility located adjacent to the organization’s existing Belfort House in the Bronzeville neighborhood of Chicago. The three-story, 12,000-square-foot building includes 26 private rooms for local homeless youths. Additionally, the first floor of the facility houses 13 private offices, as well as a multi-purpose room with a private kitchen. The existing house is being demolished this spring to make room for a fully landscaped front yard. Mark Heffron and Erik Hauser of Summit Design + Build served as project manager and superintendent, respectively. Hartshorne Plunkard Architecture was the designer for the project.
