The Center - Obama Foundation


X
THE OBAMA PRESIDENTIAL CENTER
THE CENTER
In the months and years to come, our charge is to create an engaging and welcoming place that will inspire people globally to show up for the most important office in any democracy — that of citizen. The Center will be based on the South Side of Chicago but have projects all over the city, the country, and the world.

The Obama Presidential Center will be a living, working center — an ongoing project where we will shape, together, what it means to be a good citizen in the 21st century.

THE COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP THE ARCHITECTS MAKE A DONATION
THE DESIGN
President and Mrs. Obama chose to build the Obama Presidential Center on the South Side to give back to the community that has given them so much. The Center will strengthen the economic climate in our community by bringing hundreds of thousands of visitors to Chicago every year, creating new jobs on the South Side, and revitalizing historic Jackson Park in the process.

The Obama Foundation — our board, staff, and volunteers — are honored to work side by side with community leaders and local institutions, including the Museum of Science and Industry, the DuSable Museum, the University of Chicago, and the City of Chicago on these efforts.

The Obama Presidential Center and its landscape design will blend seamlessly with Jackson Park and the surrounding neighborhoods.

A view of the Obama Presidential Center looking north shows the Museum, Forum, and Library. The Museum, the tallest structure on site, will serve as a beacon for the Obama Center and the South Side and mark a visitor’s arrival. The Library and Forum will be single-story structures with planted terraces. Generous pathways will take visitors from the park to landscaped roofs above these two buildings, offering views of the plaza, the Lagoon, and Lake Michigan.

The museum will anchor the northern end of the plaza, while the roofs of the Library and Forum will be covered with plantings to create new park land. Together these buildings will form a campus, a place for doing and making, as well as looking and learning, and will build upon Jackson Park's history as a public gathering place on the South Side.

A Center for Civic Engagement: The Center will be a place for doing. It will include classrooms, labs, and outdoor spaces, and it will conduct programs that provide visitors with experiences that inspire and tools to make things happen in their own communities.



The campus will be open to the public, and the Center will include indoor and outdoor spaces for events, trainings, and other gatherings.

Open Design: The Center is designed to re-establish the South Side’s connection to the Lagoon and Lake Michigan. Set in the public space of Jackson Park, the Center’s campus will invite visitors to flow through the architecture and into the park. This approach will soften the transition between city, landscape, lagoon, and lake.

Sustainability: The Center will be a real-life symbol of the President and Mrs. Obama’s commitment to sustainability. The project will, at a minimum, be LEED v4 Platinum, and we are exploring the possibility to surpass those qualifications.


THE COMMUNITY
The Center is designed as a campus to integrate into historic Jackson Park and to encourage local residents and visitors alike to explore the community and bring people together for events, recreation, and programming. We believe the Center will restore the promise of Jackson Park as the “people’s park,” building upon its history as a recreational destination for gathering on the South Side for families, community members, and visitors.

President and Mrs. Obama chose to build the Obama Presidential Center on the South Side, in part, to give back to the community that has given them so much. The Foundation is honored to be work alongside community leaders and local institutions, including the Museum of Science and Industry, the DuSable Museum, the University of Chicago, and City of Chicago on these efforts.
