When JGMA was selectedto revitalize the Daley College Manufacturing Technology & Engineering Center, one of Chicago’s seven city colleges, the firm knew it had an opportunity that went beyond architecture: to signal change for both the manufacturing industry and the surrounding community. “The seamless fluidity to the building’s form was inspired by the constant and linear flow of the production process,” JGMA founder Juan Gabriel Moreno says.
The building, a collaboration with architect of record CannonDesign, boasts material nods to high-tech manufacturing as well, particularly on the facade, where industrial metal panels are faceted and three-dimensional. Through the glass curtain wall, the interior’s exposed steel and poured concrete is visible as are the expanded labs, where students learn CNC machining and welding. Elsewhere are swaths of scarlet, orange, and canary. The latter also coats the underside of the pedestrian bridge linking the college’s north and south campus. Although yellow, it symbolizes a green light: the bright future of the industry, which expects to bring an additional 20,000 jobs to the region within the next decade.

Capital One Café, Washington
Washington’s Georgetown neighborhood,populated with wellpreserved Colonial and Federal buildings, was given National Historic Landmark District status in 1967. A few decades later, it became the capitol’s hip commercial district with some of the city’s best restaurants and boutiques. Both of these personalities are on display at a neighborhood bank branch by Leo A Daly and CallisonRTKL. In fact, it’s not just a bank; it’s a Capital One Café, the retail category winner. “It’s less a branch than a local social/coworking space,” Leo A Daly senior project manager Cindy Linkins says, though it does offer ATMs and in-person banking services, too. A Peet’s Coffee counter and generous seating options, plus free WiFi, encourage customers to pull up a laptop and stay awhile.
Mindful of the historic status, the team collaborated with the D.C. Historic Preservation Office among others while developing the 8,900-square-foot space, which spans three row houses. “The interior is an extension of the neighborhood,” CallisonRTKL associate principal Jeany Kim adds. Restored brick walls, refurbished wood-beam ceilings, and historic tile installations are among the retained original details, while data security and ADA accessibility are 21st-century improvements.
