British-style school opens new facility in Chicago

In a formerly crime-plagued and desolate, now gentrified Near North Side neighborhood, the elite British School of Chicago has set up shop. The private school's new facility is a sleek, five-story, blocklong, glass and steel building on a landscape still pockmarked by vacant lots and run-down homes. While waiting for its new home, the school was housed several miles north in a former Catholic elementary school. The architect is Valerio Dewalt Train Associates.
