The building’s open lobby will feature floor-to-ceiling windows along W Howard Street, while the entrance and an adjacent courtyard will house a mural by a local Evanston artist to be selected through a community process.

The new building is adjacent to the existing CJE SeniorLife Adult Day Services center, currently undergoing renovations. The improvements include a lobby reconfiguration to enhance security and overall functionality, HVAC upgrades, and roof and masonry work.
