The expansion of Chicago's Malcolm X College West Campus will include a 3,000-square-foot Community Center for Training and Learning, which would increase student capacity on the satellite campus by 50%, while also serving as an events space.
As HDG Design Principal Dave Frigo expands, "the new campus will be a great community asset when completed, even for those who might never formally take a class there."

Last weekend, ILASLA hosted a tour of Big Marsh to dig into the topics of urban forestry, land conservation, tree and plant biomass conservation, and restored/preserved prairies. HDG Principal and project landscape architect Joel Baldin provided context, insight, and led a group tour.
After the Chicago Park District acquired the nearly 300-acre brownfield site from the City of Chicago, they turned to Hitchcock Design Group to develop a site master plan. Numerous eco-recreation opportunities were planned for the site with a focus on the development of the premier regional bike park in the Midwest. Since then, HDG has led multi-disciplinary teams to prepare construction documents for multiple phases. Phase One included environmental remediation, a new entry drive, parking lot, event space, a trail system with overlooks, and a bike park. The most recent phase included the construction of a 3-mile trail network, entry plaza, pavilion, overlook, a campground, and a bridge connecting the trail system. The master plan was recently updated as well.
Pro tip: HDG Design Principal Andy Howard brought his unique insights, years of experience and infectiously corny sense of humor to his discussion about the challenges and solutions to designing for pickleball in his talk at the Indiana Parks and Recreation Conference.

The student chapter of ILASLA at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, along with the ILASLA Executive Committee, have invited Chicagoland firms to participate in a professional development event, Job Shadow Day. Having that the Naperville office compromises of a couple of UIUC alumni, we were thrilled to host UIUC Student Johanna Gonzalez, a Junior from the Landscape Architecture Department. We warmly welcomed Johanna with an office tour and introductions to our office members. In-between exploring the office and discussing the various projects we handle; we enjoyed a lunch and went for a stroll around Downtown Naperville. This collaboration was a fantastic opportunity to share our passion for Landscape Architecture while allowing us to support the next generation of designers. We hope Johanna left inspired and we wish her good luck on finishing studio reviews this fall semester!
