Perspectives Charter School

To help expand PCS’s integral services across Chicago, Skender converted and expanded a former Soft Sheen building to create a new South Lafayette Campus. The campus now serves 900 low-income middle and high school youth with its proven values-based academic curriculum. The project included interior and exterior alterations to an existing two-story steel framed structure with a masonry exterior. The new charter school provides STEM-forward classrooms, an athletic field and track, flexible outdoor space, two large gymnasiums and a monumental stair that also serves as auditorium seating.
