Chicago S.I. participant Territory Urban Design Team will be on site Saturday mornings in July and early August as part of their 6-week summer design studio, in which 30 teenagers will work together to envision and build site‐specific solutions to problems with public spaces. This summer studio focuses on the issue of safety and safe spaces for teens. While the core participants have already been selected, feel free to stop by and see what they’re working on!

This Saturday, TUDT will present their initial ideas for a safe and welcoming entrance to the McCutcheon Elementary School branch building, slated to receive new incoming students from neighboring Chicago Public Schools that have been recently closed. Invited guests, critics and the public will provide feedback. PSA’s recorded by the teens will also be on view, playing on the workshop room screen.
