The Public Building Commission of Chicago (PBC) along with it partners at the City of Chicago Department of Family and Support Services (DFSS), the City of Chicago Department of Fleet and Facility Management (2FM), and the Aldermanic Offices of the 3rd Ward, are embarking on the development of a new Regional Senior Center located in the heart of Bronzeville neighborhood. The project scope is anticipated to include but is not limited to a new, approximately +/- 25,000 sq. ft., two-story facility where a variety of social, educational & recreational activities are experienced by Chicago’s senior community. This center will have state of the art comforts that allow seniors to feel at home while enjoying luxuries, building friendships, and strengthening themselves in mind and body. The Senior Center will serve Chicago seniors 60 years of age and older. Programming will consist of Fitness Exercise room, Wellness Program (dietician, Social Worker, Nurse, and Pharmacist), Golden Diner Program, and a computer class. There will be additional classes offered based on the preferences of seniors attending this center. Additionally, there will be special events (older American month celebration, Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc.).
