PRAA Expansion

Adaptive Reuse Cultural Center

PHASE 1: COMPLETED IN 2012
PHASE 2: IN PROGRESS

The Puerto Rican Arts Alliance (PRAA) is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving and sharing Puerto Rican culture.


The PRAA Cultural Center is an adaptive reuse of the abandoned Elbridge Fire Station located on Chicago's northwest side. The Center provides space for public meetings and exhibitions, offices, art and music educational workshops, and public performances. The first phase was completed in 2012.


This second phase is the expansion of the center into the two properties next door to the current building. This much-needed expansion has been a long time coming due to PRAA's success in programming. The new phase includes more gallery space, a revamped courtyard for year-round use, and a connecting hall to tie it all together.
