About What is the future of Chicago’s Central Manufacturing District? During the fall 2017 academic semester, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign School of Architecture, Department of Landscape Architecture, and Department of Urban and Regional Planning worked in five interdisciplinary teams to produce speculative visions of Chicago’s Central Manufacturing District. A team of graduate students from UIC’s Department of Urban Planning and Policy led by Prof. Kheir Al-Kodmany worked alongside the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign teams. Illinois School of Architecture students, led by Prof. Kevin Hinders, were based in Chicago, and took theory and professional practice coursework alongside studio. Department of Landscape Architecture and Department of Urban and Regional Planning students, taught by Prof. Conor O’Shea and Prof. Rob Olshansky, respectively, made five trips to Chicago over the course of the semester. Collaboration occurred in face-to-face meetings, charrettes, and also relied heavily on the use of virtual communication platforms. Trips to Chicago included a kickoff meeting with representatives from the City of Chicago, the Metropolitan Planning Council, and LISC Chicago on September 1, 2017. Subsequent trips included a group charrette, midterm review, final review, and open house, all attended by Chicago-area practitioners and City officials. This book collects final student proposals from the Chicago Studio Open House Gallery, which took place on December 15, 2017 in the Chicago Studio space housed within Stantec’s offices in the Railway Exchange Building in downtown Chicago.

Old Plant

Vienna’s old plant located at 2501 N. Damen Ave. The 6-way intersection always encountered severe congestion, which triggered a reconstruction with the reconfigured Elston Avenue cutting right in front of Vienna’s front door.

Move

The city offered Vienna Beef 5 million dollars subsidy for the moving. The north plant operates as factory store & corporate offices. In return of the subsidy, Vienna Beef has to occupy the south plant for the next 15 years and employ a minimum of 250 full-time employees.

LOCAL FOOD Vienna Beef

David Huang

Vienna Beef is the most well-known local food brand in Chicago. Through its 120-year dedication, Chicago style hotdog becomes an iconic phenomenon. This study uses its south plant as a case study in order to have a fundamental awareness of Chicago’s urban process. Before moving to the south plant, the headquarter of Vienna Beef used to locate at 2501 N. Damen Ave, to the west of Lincoln Park. Vienna Beef took residence at this place since 1972 until a rerouting project for the increasingly congested North Damen, North Elston and West Fullerton avenue intersection. By the increasing influxes of professionals and the residential expansion, “Streets once use mainly by semi-trailers shuttling to and from local factories are now clogged with commuters Range Rovers and Priuses”, said Joe Cahill, Crain's Chicago Business. The rerouted Elston Ave cut right into Vienna Beef’s property, resulting in its south move which is funded $5 million by the city. In return of the $5 million subsidy, Vienna Beef guaranteed to occupy their new place at least 15 years and employ 250 full-time employees. To the opposite side of what Vienna Beef encountered in north Chicago, it is so welcome in south Chicago. The less-occupied road, the easy access to the freeway, the potential employees in the nearby neighborhood, and less population density all make this place a fertile soil for this new plant.

WATER: MOVEMENT AND ISSUES

Saloni Chawla, Aaron (Zhengge) Jiang, Manman Shao

The board focused on the water system and water movement. In Chicago, fresh water comes from the Lake Michigan, and after usage, it will be discharged to the Mississippi river system. But the river diversion was different from what it looks like today before 1900. At that time, Chicago’s sewage was discharged into Chicago river and thence into Lake Michigan—the source of Chicago’s drinking water. In 1885, 90,000 people died in Chicago from cholera as a result of this situation. The Bureau of Water Supply provides just under one billion gallons of water a day to Chicago and neighboring suburban communities. And most of them are surface water, from lake Michigan. Like most cities in this area, Chicago built one underground system that combines both wastewater and stormwater and moves them away from people toward treatment plants. And to deal with combined sewer overflow, Tunnel and Reservoir Plan was put into construction. As a result of global climate change, rainfall will occur in more intense storms, and today, 60% of Chicago’s land area is paved with hard covers, the rainwater is not allowed for infiltration as most are designed to drained as fast as possible. And water flow is the main source of water pollution. Apart from digging deeply, green stormwater infrastructures are more and more strengthened. Like green roof, permeable pavement, parks and open spaces.

The Merriam-Webster definition of Manufacture is “something made from raw materials by hand or by machine.” From this definition, links to businesses within the Central Manufacturing District that work with raw materials were sought out to better understand how raw materials are used within the site. These companies were divided into five material categories: Food (not including restaurants), Lumber, Metal, Aggregates, and Other (See Fig 2). The biggest use of raw materials on site go into the production and wholesale of foods, with metal being a close second. Of the 28 companies identified, only 9 are manufacturing businesses, the rest use raw materials in pre-processed forms (See Fig. 1). An important aspect in dealing with raw materials is the transportation of them; heavier products may require train transport, whereas others benefit from the speed and convenience of truck delivery. Using Chicago Freight System Planning maps, truck access was determined on site, allowing a look into the importance of these truck routes and the design limitations these cause (noise, traffic, smell). From Ashland Ave, arterial routes were determined outlining the likely truck routes from the Stevenson Expressway to each company (See Fig. 1). The status of active and inactive rail lines are also determined; inactive lines may have design potential for walking or biking trails, as many of these forgotten lines are dismantled or simply forgotten. Other potential on this site lies in the form of two historic manufacturing plants: the former Wrigley Gum Factory, and the former White Stokes Company. Current owners of the Wrigley Gum Factory plan to one day add a grocery store to the building in order to anchor what is to become a lively new shopping center. The White Stokes Co. Factory on the other hand is seeking new ownership. Both factory buildings have locations on and near Ashland Ave. that provide big freight transportation potential (See Fig 4).

Proposals



Loop It In Carol Brobeck David Huang Yun Huang Erika Johannessen Patricia McKissack Himangshu Kedia

This proposal serves is aa urban redevelopment plan that uses and redirects existing regional and local wastes to enhance and reinvigorate the Central Manufacturing District (CMD). This waste includes food from grocers and manufacturers, outdated and underutilized infrastructure, and contaminated sludge from the bottom of Bubbly Creek. The strategy begins with the construction of an anaerobic digester on site. The digester processes food and contaminated sludge wastes, turning them into energy and heat. Next, roads and walkways are reconfigured, creating efficient and accessible waste loops to improve waste transportation. Following this, we recommend revitalizing buildings through renovation, adaptive reuse, and infill construction. Reallocating land uses across the site through zoning recommendations will strengthen existing industries and establish clusters for new businesses and research facilities. In order to enhance walkability, new walking trails run along abandoned railways, inviting the public into the site to explore this historic place. New businesses have the opportunity to engage with these processes, leading to the creation of new jobs and neighborhood amenities. A rehabilitated historic Old Wrigley Gum Factory one the corner of Ashland Avenue and 35th Street supports a new mixed-use commercial and research corridor, provides a constant source of food waste, and connects to the rest of the site through railway walking trails. Looking ahead to the next 40 years, this intervention will leave the CMD with a clean and accessible Bubbly Creek, a reduction in the dependence on landfills, and a revitalized economy designed for sustainable commercial, manufacturing, and recreational use.

once prosperous manufacturing and industrial hub. Today, Chicago produces 330,000 tons of food waste each year and the CMD currently houses a number of food manufacturing businesses. We see this as a huge opportunity for a

new wave of innovation in the CMD.

TRAINING

Many areas of Chicago have seen regeneration and reinvigoration in Chicago, our proposal shows the potential of the CMD. While several buildings still stand, the District feels like a ghost town, with abandoned rail lines, vacant lots, and curious industries. We see the future of the CMD as the preeminent example of innovation in sustainable adaptation recreating an organized and desirable community through targeted planning and design interventions. The existing urban fabric of the CMD and its relationship to the processes that occur there have become strained over the years as businesses left or closed and the remnants of the past have cemented the site as a hub of contamination and waste.

PROCESS

MATERIAL

Our proposal centers around incorporating an anaerobic digester into the fabric of the CMD, turning waste into an asset in the Chicago area, rather than an environmental and economic burden.

PRODUCT

- Tackling Food Waste Landfills are responsible for one-third of all methane emissions in the United States, a potent greenhouse gas with 21 times the global warming potential of carbon dioxide. Each month in Chicago, 55 million pounds of food is taken directly from homes and businesses and straight into landfills more than 100 miles away. This waste contributes to

environmental costs in other communities, and costs the city just to move it. In [year], the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) set the

TOURISM

first-ever national food waste reduction goal, which aimed to reduce food waste by 50 percent by 2030. Food waste is the second greatest source of municipal solid waste and the need for innovative strategies in handling these outputs within the realm of food manufacturing, distribution, and consumption is more apparent than ever. Our proposal offers

a way not only to divert this waste, but a way to make it productive. - Tackling River Contamination “Bubbly Creek”, a leg of the Chicago River that terminates at the CMD, has earned its nickname due to the concentration of contaminants resulting from a long history of pollution. Used historically as a means of transportation for

local industries, the Chicago River has recently been transformed into a recreational amenity in Downtown, but Bubbly Creek is a liability for the CMD. In October of 2017, an oil spill caused closure to the south fork of the river. Twelve pollutants are concentrated on site including Formaldehyde and Arsenic and will be address first through sludge removal from the riverbed and then through plantings that can safely take up pollutants. The sludge and harvested

There is a high concentration of food distributors on site, restaurants nearby, and bio solid waste supplied by Bubbly Creek. It will create renewable energy which can be used on site along with solid and liquid fertilizers to be used for farms and gardens, potentially also on site. Improved circulation centered around the digester will reroute waste traffic on site to create spaces of community engagement separate from waste disposal and production.

Capacity: 80,000 tons of Waste per year

New businesses will have the opportunity to synthesize with existing processes creating new jobs and neighborhood amenities. We are confident that this process will stimulate the economy, incentivizing business to move to the CMD

This​ ​project​ ​combines​ ​green​ ​networks,​ ​the​ ​water​ ​treatment​ ​process,​ ​and​ ​connective circulation​ ​into​ ​one​ ​ system​ ​to​ ​contribute​ ​to​ ​a​ ​beneficial​ ​environment​ ​across​ ​different​ ​land uses. The​ ​four​ ​strategies​ ​address​​ serious​ ​pollution​ ​and​ ​fragmentary​ ​block​ ​issues.​ ​The​ ​project provides​ ​educational​ ​and​ ​recreational​ ​experiences​ ​ for​ ​residents,​ ​laborers​ ​and​ ​tourists,​ ​which attracts​ ​more​ ​investment​ ​and​ ​increases​ ​job​ ​opportunities​ ​within​ ​the​ ​ area. The​ ​green​ ​networks​ ​consist​ ​of​ ​different​ ​types​ ​of​ ​buffers.​ ​This​ ​project​ ​uses​ ​buffers​ ​to​ ​address the​ ​possible​ ​air​ ​ and​ ​runoff​ ​contamination​ ​issues​ ​and​ ​protects​ ​the​ ​Bubbly​ ​Creek​ ​from​ ​external pollution​ ​to​ ​improve​ ​surrounding​ ​ environments.​ ​The​ ​water​ ​treatment​ ​strategies​ ​can​ ​be divided​ ​into​ ​two​ ​phases,​ ​to​ ​address​ ​contamination​ ​ from​ ​combined​ ​sewage​ ​overflows​ ​and then​ ​purify​ ​water​ ​runoff.​​After​ ​remediation,​ ​the​ ​water​ ​can​ ​be​ ​used​ ​for​​ recreational​ ​activities. To​ ​increase​ ​the​ ​connectivity​ ​between​ ​east​ ​and​ ​west​ ​portions of the​ Central Manufacturing Distruct,​ ​the​ ​project​ ​provides​ ​a pedestrian​ ​path​ ​system​ ​for​ ​walking​ ​and​ ​biking​ ​to​ ​provide​ ​special​ ​journey​ ​ experiences. The​ ​proposal​ ​is​ ​divided​ ​into​ ​three​ ​phases​ ​of​ ​5,​ ​15,​ ​and​ ​25​ ​years.​ ​The​ ​phases​ ​in sequence​ ​will​ ​provide​ ​river​ ​ remediation,​​tour​​experiences,​​and​​building​​foundations.​​The​​first phase​​focuses​​on​​water​​remediation​​and​​the​​ treatment​​process​​will​​be​​exposed​​to​​the​​public. The​​second​​phase​​is​​defined​​by​​the​​completion​​of​​the​​deep​​ tunnel​​system.​​At​​this​​point,​​the river​​will​​be​​a​​much​​cleaner​​environment​​and​​the​​filtration​​system​​can​​turn​​into​​ a​ ​working public​ ​park.​ ​The​ ​third​ ​phase​ ​will​ ​also​ ​focus​ ​on​ ​residential​ ​construction​ ​north​ ​of​ ​35th​ ​Street. Green​ ​ corridors​ ​will​ ​be​ ​introduced​ ​to​ ​connect​ ​the​ ​new​ ​construction​ ​with​ ​the​ ​newly​ ​opened park.

Urban Palimpsest Introducing the Art Manufacturing District Osiel Guzman Zhengge Jiang Sebastian Koth Claudlène Saint Vil Lei Wang Sijia Yang

Recognized as the first planned manufacturing district in the United States, the Central Manufacturing District (CMD) was home to small and large-scale manufacturing businesses. Currently, within a landscape of underutilized industrial corridors, the south and west forks of the South Branch of the Chicago River, which runs through the center of the district, is underappreciated and environmentally mismanaged. Moreover, the few functioning industries in the districts are surrounded by vacant lots and vacant buildings. Business owners and users of the CMD revealed that it is unappealing to developers. This confirms that the culture of CMD is slowly degrading. Therefore, an intervention is needed to revitalize it before it is too late. Hence, upon getting to know the CMD and the surrounding neighborhood, one element that stood out the most to us was the Bridgeport Art Center (BAC). BAC has grown to become an important asset in the neighborhood. This inspired us to use the same strategy of adaptively reusing this type of development, while also implementing something new to the area by creating a missing identity and an amenity. We aimed at reusing ‘found objects’ to combine with art and manufacturing. The strategy is to start our development in between the district and let the ripple effect of the growth towards the main streets. With an end goal of creating an attractive place filled with amenities not only for entrepreneurs of small and medium sized companies but also for the inhabitants of the surrounding areas, the project will be completed in 4 phases which includes creating a pedestrian-friendly district, developing the ARTMAN, a sub-district where artists and manufacturers can cohabitate, retrofitting the vacant buildings which are going to be converted into incubators, and cleaning the river.

Artist would have a space to create and they would be able to buy their materials in the ARTMAN district. IEPA thinks it is brilliant to have training programs in green cleaning, waste management and building operation and maintenance. Residents who live near the CMD, would have the opportunity to find a jod in the district, which will reduce their commute time. School teachers are happy to see the city invest in green infrastructure and its effort to clean the river to make the neighborhood more appealing. Business owners in the Food Processing sector will now have the resources necessary to expand their investment in the Food Processing sector in the CMD.

100

The incubators in the district would serve aspiring small and medium business ownwers to start their businesses.

The new development would attract tourists who would have the opportunity tosee the work of the artists and more. Kayakers would be able to move across and joggers would have the opportunity to jog along the south and west forks of the South Branch of the Chicago River. The district environment would be inviting to birds whichcould come and enjoy what it has to offer.

Algae-ing the Future An Urban Energy Lab Kalyani Agnihotri Yizhen Ding Eva Temporal Durán Ying ‘Yoda’ Li Marc Ponce Litong Zeng

Our proposal uses algae as the key factor to boost development in the Central Manufacturing District (CMD). In addition, it helps the broader civic goal of meeting Chicago’s plan to use 100% renewable energy in its public buildings by 2025. Algae is currently gaining attention from researchers for its high efficiency in generating energy and clean wastewater. We see the potential for algae production facilities to be installed in the CMD. Thus, we intend to make the site into a laboratory and a field experiment site. Testing the combination of algae production plants with the environmental remediation process will help reveal how to integrate energy production into healthy urban environments elsewhere. We propose three main functions for the site. The first one is investigation and research, through which research activities help transform local brownfield conditions. Policies and infrastructure to support research institutions conducting renewable energy and phytoremediation will also be explored. The second function is energy generation. Although this is not emphasized as much when the project is first launched, its importance will increase over time. The third one focuses on social engagement, cultural production, public education, and recreation. We will combine renewable energy production with public landscapes the make the process visible and interactive, providing spaces for events like exhibitions and markets. We aim to help the community foster a new culture of renewable energy production.

Edu-Walk Bridging Work, Community, and Environment Saloni Chawla Dijia Chen David O’Donoghue Sara Hadavi Shuyu Yin Ye Yuan

The Central Manufacturing District is an industrial site full of opportunities, while suffering from issues including seclusion, vacant buildings, water pollution, storm water overflow, and aesthetically unpleasant environment. Taking a people-oriented approach, we address these issues to revitalize this industrial site ecologically, economically, and socially. We propose learning as a tool to strengthen the bond between people and the site, which results in community engagement and job creation. The learning process includes both formal education (indoor/outdoor classrooms) to support innovation and training for industries, as well as a broader dynamic experience of learning that comes with site exploration and engagement with the surroundings. We have three zones of intervention: eco-industrial zone, mixed-use zone, and eco-recreational corridor. They are functionally interconnected through symbiosis of materials, energy, and ideas, leading to a cohesive coexistence of work, community and environment. The eco-industrial zone is an orderly system of manufacturing, research, and workforce training. The mixeduse zone celebrates the community’s diversity and creativity through a food hub, urban farming, local food markets, and incubators. The eco-recreational corridor is the central attraction of our site along the bubbly creek making physical and functional connections between the other two zones. It incorporates a water treatment system that adds ecological and educational values to the site. The featured boardwalk connects the south and north ends of the site while adding multiple east-west connections, engaging people with the river and the environment. Through these connections established by the boardwalk, the site is transformed from a monotonous industry-dominated workplace to a dynamic urban eco-system with a lively social character, diminishing the barriers between industries and people through knowledge, engagement and recreation.

The learning process includes both formal education(indoor/outdoor classrooms)to support innovation and trainingfor industries,as well asa broader dynamic experience of learningthat comes with siteexplorationand engagementwith the surroundings. We have three zonesof intervention: eco-industrial zone, mixed-usezone, and eco-recreationalcorridor. They are functionally interconnected through symbiosis of materials, energy, and ideas, leading toa cohesive coexistence of work, community and environment.
