DALEY COLLEGE MANUFACTURING , TECHNOLOGY & ENGINEERING CENTER

The new Manufacturing , Technology and Engineering Center ( MTEC ) at Daley College is an addition to the Richard J . Daley campus . The MTEC sets the framework for a wider master plan . The project unifies the existing complex by creating a campus environment with engaging pathways and collaborative spaces throughout .
Rising from the transformed parking lot , the MTEC project speaks to issues larger than architecture ; it seeks to revitalize a Chicago southwest neighborhood by creating a connective message that all are significant and welcome . Daley College tasked JGMA with removing the negative stereotypes that exist in the workforce when pertaining to manufacturing careers . Often suggesting these careers as devoid of dignity and reserved typically for minority populations .
