Patrick Brown"Being green and using ecologically sustainable materials is important, but there's more we need to consider. We're designing a public building for the community. It's an opportunity to ask how we're championing sustainable communities; how we're being supportive, welcoming, and inclusive in our facilities as Oak Park clearly strives to be."
All finalists now have the opportunity to further develop their design, including details such as the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems. Finalists will present their completed designs to the jury, which will consist of select members from the original jury, as well as members from the Park District staff and Board of Commissioners. After private deliberation, a winner will be announced.
