Message From the Chairman

The work performed by the Commissioners and staff of the Public Building Commission is not just about brick and mortar; it is about people.

It’s about the children who attend public schools built or renovated by the PBC; patrons of the new branch libraries; the police officers and local residents using the new district stations; firefighters who will be serving in their new stations; and everyone who enjoys the campus parks, playlots and public fountains that are being built or restored throughout the city.

Richard M. Daley, Mayor

And it is about the people working to better their lives by enrolling in the City Colleges, the Gallery 37 educational programs or who are becoming trade apprentices through our Skill Builders program.

On the drawing board are even more people-oriented projects, including additional senior citizens centers; a pilot project to create homes for foster children where siblings can be kept together as families; a Park District family center with roller rink and bowling alley; and much more.

Each building and recreational area is used by thousands of Chicago and Cook County residents, which is why the Commissioners and staff of the PBC dedicate so much of their time and energy working with our clients to make them as safe, attractive and cost-effective as possible.

It also is why we make every effort to ensure these projects are accessible to people with disabilities; easy to clean and maintain; energy efficient; employ the latest technology; and reflect other important changes in society – such as the fact that women now work side-by-side with men as police officers and firefighters.

There are hundreds of decisions to make on even the simplest PBC projects, but our commitment and enthusiasm will never dim because the choices we make can have positive effects on the people of Chicago and Cook County for many decades to come.
