Visit the Public Building Commission'sweb site www.pbcchicago.com to findcurrent information about the widerange of construction under way in theCity of Chicago.From public fountains and playlots to police and fire stations, PBC constructionactivities can be found listed on the “Projects” link and include such details asaddresses, ward numbers, descriptions, and the architects and contractors.Construction photos and project details are regularly updated here to show theprogress being made on the next generation of public facilities in Chicago.

The PBC has joined with six other sister agencies within the city to presentunified contract information on the site. All upcoming contracts, advertised bidsand a complete calendar can be found in the “Building With the PBC” section.Once a contract is awarded, the amount of the contract, bid tabulation andminority and women-owned sub-contractors are also posted in this section. Theroles of Owner's Representatives, General Contractors, Construction Managers,and Trade Contractors are outlined in “Building With The PBC,” as well as thepre-qualification process to become eligible to serve in these capacities.Application forms can be easily downloaded directly from the site.

“PBC Alerts” have been designed to increase participation of all sub-contractors,especially MBE and WBE firms, in the contracting process. By signing up forthese alerts, firms will be notified as soon as construction documents are sentout for bid, along with the dates and times for the pre-bid meeting and the bidopening. Directly after a pre-bid meeting, the list of firms that attended is addedto the site.

Each month, all actions of the Public Building Commission are posted withinminutes of the end of the board meeting. In addition, browsers can find timelypress releases, as well as past financial reports and annual reports posted on the“About the PBC” section.

“Historical Highlights” offers perspective on past projects, including the PBC'sfirst assignment the Daley Center and more recent endeavors, such asChicago Police Headquarters, North Avenue Beach House, and renovation of thelegendary Goldblatt's building. Meanwhile, more than 40 years of PBC projectscan be found in the “History” section of the site. Here you can find informationabout hundreds of past and current construction projects undertaken by the PBC.

And, for those who are curious about the exciting developments at MillenniumPark, an interactive map of the site is available. Clicking on an individualattraction, such as the Frank Gehry-designed outdoor music pavilion or theMcCormick Tribune Ice Skating Rink, brings up its photo or rendering and acomplete description of the project.

Building the Chicago of the 21st century is the mission of today's citygovernment and the day-to-day work of the Public Building Commission ofChicago. The PBC helps mold our future in schools and green space, in policestations, playlots and public libraries.

A world-class city of nearly 3 million people, whose labor and commerce fuelthe economies of the State of Illinois, the Midwest and the nation, needs astrong foundation on which to stand. Renewing our infrastructure keeps usstrong for the years ahead and will serve as our investment in tomorrow.Consider what we have accomplished in 2001, and where we are headed inthe future.

In January, we approved sites for five new fire stations, the first of nine tobe built in the coming years. As you read this Annual Report, construction isunder way on Engine Company 63's future headquarters at 67th Street andDorchester Avenue.

In February, we opened the new 18th District Police Station, one of 11 newstations being built under our Neighborhoods Alive 21 program. By the timethis effort is completed, the city will have replaced or renovated 19 policestations.

In May, the Department on Aging named five communities where seniorsatellite centers will be built by the PBC to serve our senior citizens, givingsomething back to those who helped build all we have today.

In August, we introduced sites for three new public library branches, on theWest, North and Southeast of our plan for 20 library projects slatedfor completion by 2005.

Last fall, we opened the academic year by ringing the bell at a new Davis/ShieldsElementary School. And, in October, we initiated construction of the new PaulCuffe Elementary School on the fast track, so its students can hear theiropening bell in the fall of 2003. Construction began on the Cermak ElementarySchool/National Teachers Academy and Carnegie was receiving the finishingtouches on an addition scheduled for opening in early 2002.

At year's end, we kicked off the winter ice-skating season in a spectacularlocation: the new ice rink in Millennium Park's McCormick Tribune Plaza.Another eight acres of Millennium Park opened over the next six months.

A great city provides schools and libraries where its children learn, communitypolicing assets and fire stations that protect the neighborhoods, and parks,playlots and green space that make the places where people live more inviting.

In Chicago, the future is being written by the hard work and determination ofits citizens, and with the help of the PBC.

Sincerely,

These are the anchors of ourcommunities.

sides partA few months later, the new Austin-Irving Branch was

opened, marking the 41st new or renovated library built since 1989.

Also, I want to thank Norman R. Bobins for his service as PBC Commissioner,and I would like to welcome Michael W. Scott, the newest member of the PBCBoard of Commissioners.

Senior Satellite Centersprovide seniors with placesclose to home where theymay gather with friends, learncomputer and other skills,exercise, have lunch andsocialize.Five sites were being developed in 2001 as part of MayorDaley's senior satellite center commitment. In all, tensatellite centers will be built over the next few years. TheWest Town/Logan Square satellite center, at 1613 WestChicago Avenue, is expected to open in fall 2002.

The next three centers to be built are: Roseland SeniorCenter, at 49 East 95th Street; Austin Senior Center, 5071West Congress Boulevard; and Englewood Senior Center,653 West 63rd Street. A new Portage Park/Belmont CraiginCenter will be built at 4100 North Long Avenue.

The new satellite centers will supplement a network ofRegional Senior Centers.

an examination room, 10therapist's offices, a children'stherapy room and a multi-purpose room. The $2.2million project also providedparking for staff and patients.

Out of a West Side “brownfield” site grew the ChicagoCenter for Green Technology, a future-is-now facilitycreated in 2001 as a national model of energy efficiencyand environment-friendly design.

The Chicago Department of Environment took control ofthe property, at 445 N. Sacramento Avenue, in 1997, aftera previous owner filed for bankruptcy. This brownfieldsite held more than 600,000 cubic yards of constructionand demolition debris that the City cleaned up, recyclingthe stone and concrete into other public projects.

The grounds and building were renovated by PBC withhealth, safety and the environment in mind. The Center,opened in 2002, has a ground-source heat pump that usesthe constant temperature of the earth to heat or cool thebuilding, depending on the season. This pump system isabout 40 percent more energy efficient than conventionalheating and cooling systems, and the Center gets 20

of its energy from the sun, thanks to solar roof panels.

The Center's storm water system directs rainwater on thegrounds toward a series of ditches that slow down thewater and filter impurities. With no curb around theparking lot, more rainwater flows onto the landscapewhere it can be absorbed. Rainwater from the roof isdirected into cisterns with a capacity of 12,000 gallons andis used for landscaping irrigation as needed. Also, 37percent of the building materials are reused or recycled.

PBC completed a replacement for the Southwest

per-cent

MentalHealth Center in 2001, giving the Chicago Department ofPublic Health a new treatment facility at 1140 West 79thStreet.

The 7,500-square-foot center features two doctor's offices,

PBC

t h e

The Public Building Commission of Chicago (PBC) was created in1956 as an independent governmental unit responsible forbuilding and renovating public buildings and facilities foragencies in Chicago and Cook County.

PBC client agencies include the City of Chicago, the ChicagoPublic Library, the Chicago Park District, the Chicago PublicSchools, the City Colleges of Chicago and Cook CountyGovernment.

The PBC's mission is to build attractive and functional structuresthat will serve the public for generations, and to provide cost-efficient project management services to its clients. The PBCBoard of Commissioners provide supervision for public projectsfrom land acquisition through all the stages of planning, designand construction.

Architects for the PBC have developed prototype designs forpolice stations, firehouses and branch libraries. This promotesefficiency in design and construction, while allowingarchitectural plans to be adapted to the needs of specific sitesand their surrounding communities.

In a continuing effort to increase diversity among those whowork on public projects and to provide opportunity for firmsthat are minority-owned and woman-owned, the PBC hasstreamlined its qualification process to encourage smallercompanies to participate. The PBC enforces Equal EmploymentOpportunity (EEO) and city residency goals, and seeks a greaterrole for Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) and WomenBusiness Enterprises (WBE).

Mayor Daley's Skill Builders program, a training initiativeadministered by the PBC, helps economically disadvantagedChicagoans train for apprenticeship tests in the building trades.The goal is to help participants gain work skills and qualify forgood jobs in the construction industry.

During 2001, the PBC again exceeded its MBE and WBEparticipation goals of 25 percent and 5 percent, respectively.For the period ending December 31, 2001, MBE commitments inPBC construction contracts were 26 percent and WBEcommitments were 7 percent. Also, for EEO participation, 40percent of construction hours were credited to minorityjourneyworkers, apprentices and laborers; and 10 percent of thehours were credited to female workers. City residents per-formed 46 percent of the hours worked on PBC projects.

As Mayor Daley's Skill Buildersprogram approaches its secondyear in 2002, more than 50graduates already have beenaccepted into union apprentice-ship programs, on the road tocareers in construction.Meanwhile, more than 100 Skill Builders are on application, waitingto take the tests that lead to entrance into apprenticeships.

Skill Builders was designed to increase the number of Chicagoanswho enter the construction field. During a 14-week course,participants are prepared for taking the apprenticeship exams witha curriculum that was developed by union apprenticeshipcoordinators, the Chicago and Cook County Building andConstruction Trades Council, the Mayor's Office of WorkforceDevelopment, and City Colleges of Chicago. In addition, studentsare exposed to the different trades with weekly field trips to localapprenticeship programs, while learning about a variety ofconstruction topics firsthand through guest speakers in theclassroom. Most importantly, the students are taught critical job-readiness skills throughout the program, including: punctuality,the importance of coming to class every day, proper dress, andsafety skills.

The Public Building Commission continues to work withcontractors on its municipal construction projects to sponsor SkillBuilders into apprenticeship programs, and to hire Skill Builderswho are ready to work. Several graduates of the program arecurrently working at the sites of Jones College Prep and MillenniumPark both PBC construction projects.

This working relationship between Skill Builders and contractorsserves two very important functions to help Chicago residentsenter the construction trades, and to provide contractors with areliable source for city resident apprentices. And, each Skill Buildergraduate who is sponsored or hired represents the success and thefuture of this valuable program.

A commitment to quality on the part of Mayor Daley and thecommissioners who work with him on the Public BuildingCommission of Chicago produced results in 2001 that willgrow Chicago's public assets in the century ahead.

Building new and replacement schools is far more thanassembling bricks and mortar and steel. In Chicago, it ispart of our pledged commitment to public education.

Replacing aging police stations, which the PBC has beendoing since 1999, and fire stations with new facilitiesreinforces our commitment to give our frontline publicservants the tools they need to better serve ourcommunities.

For decades, we have wondered, “How will Chicago look inthe 21st century?” The answer is taking shape in the workof the PBC and its staff. Public libraries, schools, campusparks, playlots, 19 new or renovated police stations andnine new fire stations are planned or already in the works.

In 2001, we began carrying out $105 million in capitalimprovements at City Colleges of Chicago, including newclassrooms, laboratories and exterior work. Planningmoved forward for a new Kennedy-King College campus inEnglewood.

Millennium Park started opening to the public, with a newunderground parking garage in February of 2001 and aninstantly popular skating rink that has been attractingfamilies since it opened in December. And an ambitiousreconstruction of the Grant Park South underground park-ing garage went forward, along with the rebuilding of sixlanes of South Michigan Avenue above the garage.

The Chicago Center for Green Technology, 445 NorthSacramento Avenue, was built by the PBC in partnershipwith the city’s Department of Environment on a“brownfield” site acquired by the city in 1997 and cleared ofconstruction and demolition debris. Recycled materialsmake up 37 percent of the structure, which features solarpanels that provide 20 percent of the building's energy anda ground-source heat pump system that provides energy-efficient heating and cooling year round.

All of these undertakings in the last year, backed up by thePBC's commitment to quality, will move Chicago forward inthe years ahead. New schools, police and fire stations,libraries and parks contribute to the city's quality of life.

As a result, Chicago is becoming a more livable city day byday.

Sincerely,

Eileen J. CareyExecutive Director

A brand new fieldhouse opened to the North Lawndalecommunity, at 3559 W. Arthington, in 2001. This was apublic/private joint-venture project between the ShawCompany and the Chicago Park District, and constructed bythe Public Building Commission. As a result, area residentsnow have access to recreational opportunities year-round byusing the competition-size swimming pool, basketballcourts, and gymnasium at the Homan Square CommunityCenter. In addition, a Neighborhood Technology ResourceCenter, located inside Homan Square, offers individuals thechance to learn basic and advanced computer skills, how tofix computers, build a web site, and search for jobs online.

The first of its kind in Chicago, Hawthorne Park FamilyEntertainment Center is under construction and set to openby 2003. This one-story, handicap-accessible building,located on the city's South Side, will feature a publicbowling alley, roller-skating rink, video arcade completewith prize booth, snack bar, and a children's birthday partyarea. Auburn-Gresham residents are actively working aslaborers, apprentices, and journeyworkers at the site, in aneffort to bring a sense of community ownership andparticipation to this project.

At the heart of Chicago's magnifi-cent lakefront, embellished overseveral generations with greatmuseums, parks and beaches,Millennium Park is shaping up asa standout destination.Once an expanse of railroad tracks and parking lots, Millennium Park isblossoming into an array of enjoyable, aesthetically pleasing and culturallyenriching attractions.

Renowned architect Frank Gehry is designing an outdoor music pavilion tobe located along Columbus Drive in Millennium Park. Gehry designed theGuggenheim Museum in Spain and the Music Museum in Seattle. A 1,500-seat music and dance theater at the northeast corner of the park will hostperformers, such as the Hubbard Street Dancers and the ShakespeareTheatre Company. Nearby will be a heated, indoor bicycle station.

Nestled between the music pavilion and McCormick Tribune Plaza is thesite for what is sure to become one of Chicago's most talked-about worksof art: a massive, bean-shaped stainless steel sculpture measuring 60 feetin length and 30 feet tall. British artist Anish Kapoor is at work on thesculpture, which will weigh in at 100 tons!

Anchoring the park, near Randolph and Michigan, a beautifully recreatedPeristyle is in the works, reminiscent of the Greek-column structure thatstood in Grant Park from 1917 to 1953. The Peristyle and an ornatefountain will greet visitors at the northwest corner of the park. Twopromenades, one between the Peristyle and the ice rink and the other tothe south of the ice rink, will provide access to art fairs and expositions.

At the southeast corner of Millennium Park will be the Monroe Garden, a2.4-acre landscaped garden. The garden's design was the subject ofinternational competition.

Millennium Park is funded by parking garage revenues, tax incrementfinancing and private donations from public-spirited organizations. Theprivate backers of the park are on track to raise more than $100 million inprivate donations.

In this decade,Chicago fire-fighters will workout of nine newfire stations as aresult of PBCbuilding projectsthat are movingforward.Sites were selected in 2001 for fiveof the new fire stations, and landacquisition is under way.

The first new fire station of the21st century will rise on the SouthSide at 67th Street and DorchesterAvenue.

Also in the works are new stationsto be built at 16th Street and PulaskiRoad and at 59th and State streets.These new fire stations will replacebuildings that originally opened in1915 and 1929.

Replacing aging fire stations meansbetter response to emergency callsfrom locations that can use thelatest in firefighting technology.Our firefighters will have updatedliving quarters, and their new15,000-square-foot fire stations willfeature circular driveways to alloweasier access for today's larger firetrucks.

Throughout Chicago are dozens ofnew or refurbished playlots 74, inall, at the close of 2001 that offerchildren islands of fun and safety outof doors.

Under the $10.5 million playlot pro-gram funded by the Chicago PublicSchools, the PBC builds some of itssmallest projects, but they are a bigbenefit for families raising children.

The colorful playlots have slides,soft-surface outdoor flooring,swings and fun sets for climbing.

In 2002, another dozen playlots arein the works throughout the city.

Mayor Daley and policeofficials presided at theFebruary 3, 2001opening of a new 18thDistrict headquarters,known as the Near North District, at 1160North Larrabee Avenue. This was the fourthnew police station opened by Mayor Daley inaddition to the new police headquarters facil-ity, located at 35th Street and Michigan Avenue.

Chicago Police infrastructure took a big stepforward in 2001, with the start of constructionon the new 20th District station, at 5400 NorthLincoln Avenue, which is set to open in the fallof 2002. The new 20th District replaces the oldFoster Avenue station, built in 1938.

Under the mayor's Neighborhoods Alive 21program, begun three years ago, the PBC ismaking 11 new police stations a reality. Thesenew facilities replace some of the oldest inChicago. The 10th District station, known asthe Marquette District, was built in 1917 theyear the United States entered World War I.Also on the West Side, the 15th District station,built in 1918, will be replaced. The newstations will provide 42,000 square feet ofspace nearly double the size of some currentsites and feature community meeting spacesand modern technology.

One of these new district stations, the 22ndDistrict station, erected in the Morgan Park areain 1938, will be built with an eye towardenhanced efficiency and conservation. One ofthe goals of the Morgan Park project is to earndesignation from the U.S. Green BuildingsCouncil for “Leadership in Energy andEnvironmental Design.”

In 2001, the PBC rebuiltMichigan Avenue from VanBuren to Adams as part of the$35 million Grant Park Southunderground garagereconstruction project.At Mayor Daley's urging, the PBC accelerated the surfacework to finish earlier and minimize inconvenience to localbusinesses, visitors and neighbors.

The 40-year-old Grant Park South structure is expected toreopen in the fall of 2002. The Grant Park North and Millen-nium Park garages already have opened for public parking.

Construction began in 2001 on the Hayes Park Natatorium inChicago's Ashburn neighborhood. Community residents willenjoy a new swimming pool and an exercise room when thishandicap-accessible facility opens in early 2003.

A brand new fieldhouse opened to the North Lawndalecommunity, at 3559 W. Arthington, in 2001. This was apublic/private joint-venture project between the ShawCompany and the Chicago Park District, and constructed bythe Public Building Commission. As a result, area residentsnow have access to recreational opportunities year-round byusing the competition-size swimming pool, basketballcourts, and gymnasium at the Homan Square CommunityCenter. In addition, a Neighborhood Technology ResourceCenter, located inside Homan Square, offers individuals thechance to learn basic and advanced computer skills, how tofix computers, build a web site, and search for jobs online.

The first of its kind in Chicago, Hawthorne Park FamilyEntertainment Center is under construction and set to openby 2003. This one-story, handicap-accessible building,located on the city's South Side, will feature a publicbowling alley, roller-skating rink, video arcade completewith prize booth, snack bar, and a children's birthday partyarea. Auburn-Gresham residents are actively working aslaborers, apprentices, and journeyworkers at the site, in aneffort to bring a sense of community ownership andparticipation to this project.

A commitment to quality on the part of Mayor Daley and thecommissioners who work with him on the Public BuildingCommission of Chicago produced results in 2001 that willgrow Chicago's public assets in the century ahead.

Building new and replacement schools is far more thanassembling bricks and mortar and steel. In Chicago, it ispart of our pledged commitment to public education.

Replacing aging police stations, which the PBC has beendoing since 1999, and fire stations with new facilitiesreinforces our commitment to give our frontline publicservants the tools they need to better serve ourcommunities.

For decades, we have wondered, “How will Chicago look inthe 21st century?” The answer is taking shape in the workof the PBC and its staff. Public libraries, schools, campusparks, playlots, 19 new or renovated police stations andnine new fire stations are planned or already in the works.

In 2001, we began carrying out $105 million in capitalimprovements at City Colleges of Chicago, including newclassrooms, laboratories and exterior work. Planningmoved forward for a new Kennedy-King College campus inEnglewood.

Millennium Park started opening to the public, with a newunderground parking garage in February of 2001 and aninstantly popular skating rink that has been attractingfamilies since it opened in December. And an ambitiousreconstruction of the Grant Park South underground park-ing garage went forward, along with the rebuilding of sixlanes of South Michigan Avenue above the garage.

The Chicago Center for Green Technology, 445 NorthSacramento Avenue, was built by the PBC in partnershipwith the city’s Department of Environment on a“brownfield” site acquired by the city in 1997 and cleared ofconstruction and demolition debris. Recycled materialsmake up 37 percent of the structure, which features solarpanels that provide 20 percent of the building's energy anda ground-source heat pump system that provides energy-efficient heating and cooling year round.

All of these undertakings in the last year, backed up by thePBC's commitment to quality, will move Chicago forward inthe years ahead. New schools, police and fire stations,libraries and parks contribute to the city's quality of life.

As a result, Chicago is becoming a more livable city day byday.

Sincerely,

Eileen J. CareyExecutive Director

As Mayor Daley's Skill Buildersprogram approaches its secondyear in 2002, more than 50graduates already have beenaccepted into union apprentice-ship programs, on the road tocareers in construction.Meanwhile, more than 100 Skill Builders are on application, waitingto take the tests that lead to entrance into apprenticeships.

Skill Builders was designed to increase the number of Chicagoanswho enter the construction field. During a 14-week course,participants are prepared for taking the apprenticeship exams witha curriculum that was developed by union apprenticeshipcoordinators, the Chicago and Cook County Building andConstruction Trades Council, the Mayor's Office of WorkforceDevelopment, and City Colleges of Chicago. In addition, studentsare exposed to the different trades with weekly field trips to localapprenticeship programs, while learning about a variety ofconstruction topics firsthand through guest speakers in theclassroom. Most importantly, the students are taught critical job-readiness skills throughout the program, including: punctuality,the importance of coming to class every day, proper dress, andsafety skills.

The Public Building Commission continues to work withcontractors on its municipal construction projects to sponsor SkillBuilders into apprenticeship programs, and to hire Skill Builderswho are ready to work. Several graduates of the program arecurrently working at the sites of Jones College Prep and MillenniumPark both PBC construction projects.

This working relationship between Skill Builders and contractorsserves two very important functions to help Chicago residentsenter the construction trades, and to provide contractors with areliable source for city resident apprentices. And, each Skill Buildergraduate who is sponsored or hired represents the success and thefuture of this valuable program.

About

PBC

the

The Public Building Commission of Chicago (PBC) was created in1956 as an independent governmental unit responsible forbuilding and renovating public buildings and facilities foragencies in Chicago and Cook County.

PBC client agencies include the City of Chicago, the ChicagoPublic Library, the Chicago Park District, the Chicago PublicSchools, the City Colleges of Chicago and Cook CountyGovernment.

The PBC's mission is to build attractive and functional structuresthat will serve the public for generations, and to provide cost-efficient project management services to its clients. The PBCBoard of Commissioners provide supervision for public projectsfrom land acquisition through all the stages of planning, designand construction.

Architects for the PBC have developed prototype designs forpolice stations, firehouses and branch libraries. This promotesefficiency in design and construction, while allowingarchitectural plans to be adapted to the needs of specific sitesand their surrounding communities.

In a continuing effort to increase diversity among those whowork on public projects and to provide opportunity for firmsthat are minority-owned and woman-owned, the PBC hasstreamlined its qualification process to encourage smallercompanies to participate. The PBC enforces Equal EmploymentOpportunity (EEO) and city residency goals, and seeks a greaterrole for Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) and WomenBusiness Enterprises (WBE).

Mayor Daley's Skill Builders program, a training initiativeadministered by the PBC, helps economically disadvantagedChicagoans train for apprenticeship tests in the building trades.The goal is to help participants gain work skills and qualify forgood jobs in the construction industry.

During 2001, the PBC again exceeded its MBE and WBEparticipation goals of 25 percent and 5 percent, respectively.For the period ending December 31, 2001, MBE commitments inPBC construction contracts were 26 percent and WBEcommitments were 7 percent. Also, for EEO participation, 40percent of construction hours were credited to minorityjourneyworkers, apprentices and laborers; and 10 percent of thehours were credited to female workers. City residents per-formed 46 percent of the hours worked on PBC projects.

an examination room, 10therapist's offices, a children'stherapy room and a multi-purpose room. The $2.2million project also providedparking for staff and patients.

Out of a West Side “brownfield” site grew the ChicagoCenter for Green Technology, a future-is-now facilitycreated in 2001 as a national model of energy efficiencyand environment-friendly design.

The Chicago Department of Environment took control ofthe property, at 445 N. Sacramento Avenue, in 1997, aftera previous owner filed for bankruptcy. This brownfieldsite held more than 600,000 cubic yards of constructionand demolition debris that the City cleaned up, recyclingthe stone and concrete into other public projects.

The grounds and building were renovated by PBC withhealth, safety and the environment in mind. The Center,opened in 2002, has a ground-source heat pump that usesthe constant temperature of the earth to heat or cool thebuilding, depending on the season. This pump system isabout 40 percent more energy efficient than conventionalheating and cooling systems, and the Center gets 20

of its energy from the sun, thanks to solar roof panels.

The Center's storm water system directs rainwater on thegrounds toward a series of ditches that slow down thewater and filter impurities. With no curb around theparking lot, more rainwater flows onto the landscapewhere it can be absorbed. Rainwater from the roof isdirected into cisterns with a capacity of 12,000 gallons andis used for landscaping irrigation as needed. Also, 37percent of the building materials are reused or recycled.

PBC completed a replacement for the Southwest

Building the Chicago of the 21st century is the mission of today's citygovernment and the day-to-day work of the Public Building Commission ofChicago. The PBC helps mold our future in schools and green space, in policestations, playlots and public libraries.

A world-class city of nearly 3 million people, whose labor and commerce fuelthe economies of the State of Illinois, the Midwest and the nation, needs astrong foundation on which to stand. Renewing our infrastructure keeps usstrong for the years ahead and will serve as our investment in tomorrow.Consider what we have accomplished in 2001, and where we are headed inthe future.

In January, we approved sites for five new fire stations, the first of nine tobe built in the coming years. As you read this Annual Report, construction isunder way on Engine Company 63's future headquarters at 67th Street andDorchester Avenue.

In February, we opened the new 18th District Police Station, one of 11 newstations being built under our Neighborhoods Alive 21 program. By the timethis effort is completed, the city will have replaced or renovated 19 policestations.

In May, the Department on Aging named five communities where seniorsatellite centers will be built by the PBC to serve our senior citizens, givingsomething back to those who helped build all we have today.

In August, we introduced sites for three new public library branches, on theWest, North and Southeast of our plan for 20 library projects slatedfor completion by 2005.

Last fall, we opened the academic year by ringing the bell at a new Davis/ShieldsElementary School. And, in October, we initiated construction of the new PaulCuffe Elementary School on the fast track, so its students can hear theiropening bell in the fall of 2003. Construction began on the Cermak ElementarySchool/National Teachers Academy and Carnegie was receiving the finishingtouches on an addition scheduled for opening in early 2002.

At year's end, we kicked off the winter ice-skating season in a spectacularlocation: the new ice rink in Millennium Park's McCormick Tribune Plaza.Another eight acres of Millennium Park opened over the next six months.

A great city provides schools and libraries where its children learn, communitypolicing assets and fire stations that protect the neighborhoods, and parks,playlots and green space that make the places where people live more inviting.

In Chicago, the future is being written by the hard work and determination ofits citizens, and with the help of the PBC.

Sincerely,

These are the anchors of ourcommunities.

sides partA few months later, the new Austin-Irving Branch was

opened, marking the 41st new or renovated library built since 1989.

Also, I want to thank Norman R. Bobins for his service as PBC Commissioner,and I would like to welcome Michael W. Scott, the newest member of the PBCBoard of Commissioners.

Senior Satellite Centersprovide seniors with placesclose to home where theymay gather with friends, learncomputer and other skills,exercise, have lunch andsocialize.Five sites were being developed in 2001 as part of MayorDaley's senior satellite center commitment. In all, tensatellite centers will be built over the next few years. TheWest Town/Logan Square satellite center, at 1613 WestChicago Avenue, is expected to open in fall 2002.

The next three centers to be built are: Roseland SeniorCenter, at 49 East 95th Street; Austin Senior Center, 5071West Congress Boulevard; and Englewood Senior Center,653 West 63rd Street. A new Portage Park/Belmont CraiginCenter will be built at 4100 North Long Avenue.

The new satellite centers will supplement a network ofRegional Senior Centers.
