Invest South/West — Via Chicago

Together with our partners - Could Be Architecture and Chicago Mobile Makers - Via Chicago has been selected for the list of pre-qualified architects in Chicago's INVEST South/West neighborhood improvement initiative.

The collaborative of Via Chicago and Could Be Architecture offers an exciting, right-sized alternative to Chicago’s “big guys” and legacy firms. Working closely with our programming & outreach partner Chicago Mobile Makers — a nonprofit organization that empowers Chicago youth to become advocates in their own communities — we’re the right crew at the right time.
