Rising three stories and over 30 feet tall, plans for the center have been in the works for over a year having hosted multiple community outreach meetings earlier this year on its programming. With 24,480 square feet of space, a large majority of the space will be used by Lurie Children’s Hospital who is partnering with Stone Community Development. The two will utilize the hub to offer health services for children with bullying and gun-related trauma.
