This Champaign Illinois college had a facility need for both athletic training and instructional facilities for personal trainers and Kinesiology. The facility was conceived as an addition to the existing gymnasium which allowed the under utilized lower level to be renovated into lockers, classrooms and trainers rooms.
The Illinois Association of School Boards has an annual design award competition. Our firm and our client was fortunate enough to win the sole Award of Merit in the State of Illinois for Excellence in Educational Environments!
DESIGN MATTERS!
By expanding this school with classrooms and a commons/ cafeteria and remodel older space for the Fine Arts, our firm gave the community a reason to be proud of its new facilities. The renovation of the existing cafeteria offered an opportunity to create loft industrial space to the creative arts it housed.
PCM + Design used the tenants' corporate template to design and renovate the 9th and 10th floors of the historic Central Building in Peoria IL for their Peoria Headquarters.
Peoria Public Schools needed different solutions to the same problem at Rolling Acres and Calvin Coolidge grade schools. Here at Rolling Acres, a new cafeteria/ multipurpose room freed the gymnasium for physical education and paved the way for a remodeling with new bleachers and a wood gym floor. The placement of the cafeteria on the site allowed immediate access to the after lunch playground and an outdoor lunch courtyard during fair weather.
The City of East Peoria and Fondulac Library executed an inter-governmental agreement to build a phase one Civic Complex and Library on a former brownfield factory site in the heart of the community. PCM + Design also acted as the master planner for the area named the "Levee District". A phase two City Hall is currently under construction.

pcm + design architects were the master planners for this mixed use development in St. Charles, Missouri.

Our firm was also the project architects and designers of the Residences at the Streets of St. Charles. It was a 200 unit mixed use apartment building and parking structure completed in 2009.
This Peoria District 150 turn-of-the-century school needed a budget friendly gymnasium that could solve accessibility concerns and evening/ weekend use while fitting in with the older school and neighborhood.
