The SSDC will be a collaborative cultural and commercial hub that will expand the power and generative vitality of Chicago’s South Side, assisting with the recovery from the pandemic and the effects of systemic racism and decades of disinvestment. The SSDC project will transform a vacant property into a premier training/presenting space that will serve as an international home for Black dance and a thriving network of dance partners. It will provide these artists and the community with 30,000 square feet of human-centered space. This will include six dance studios, a rehearsal/studio theater performance space, a costume/set design shop, reception lobby and box office, administrative offices, meeting rooms, concessions boutique, rooftop terrace, courtyard, off-street parking, kitchen, and spaces for community gatherings.

Delta Institute proposes a collaborative project to support the vision articulated by Chicago Community Trust and Great Rivers Chicago to foster our City’s rivers as inviting, productive, and living places where everyone benefits from a more resilient and equitable Chicago. We will do so—in partnership with the Illinois International Port District, Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning, and community stakeholders—by improving water quality along the Calumet River, utilizing the Port of Chicago as an anchor institution to drive local community engagement, site prioritization/selection, feasibility studies, and preliminary site designs for integrating Green Infrastructure across Chicago’s East Side over a 12-month period.
