Chicago-based FitzGerald directed the full interior and exterior repair and restoration of the Stony Island Arts Bank, in the city's Grand Crossing neighborhood.
Congratulations to adaptive reuse expert and Taylor Johnson client FitzGerald Associates Architects, which was recently recognized by The Architect's Newspaper in its 3rd Annual Best of Design Awards. The firm received an honorable mention in the category of Adaptive Reuse for its work on the $4.5 million renovation and historic preservation of the Stony Island Arts Bank. The project, which served as a primary venue during the Chicago Architecture Biennial, was a dilapidated former savings and loan on Chicago's south side that was rehabilitated into a neighborhood cultural center and art exhibition venue.
