JJC City Center Campus

The new JJC Downtown Campus construction is well underway. The new City Center Campus will include space for the following programs: Workforce Development, GED/ESL Training, Adult Education and Culinary Arts.
According to the JJC Master Plan; the six-story, 96,000 sq. foot building will include a light-filled, glass-enclosed lobby designed to welcome students and visitors to the facility, in addition to a new restaurant located adjacent to Chicago St. for the public to access.

The design includes many sustainable technologies and is also targeting LEED Silver certification through the United States Green Building Council.
