JLK Architects

Stone samples, scenery, & a sluice gate – oh my! In the 1930s, the Civilian Conservation Corps built the lovely Nettle Creek Aqueduct across the I&M Canal. Things ( !) happened in 2014, so we’re working with EXP and Illinois Capital Development BoardlopmentBoard to rehabilitate this crossing. Team JLK ArchitectsLKArchitects enjoyed the gorgeous scenery while gathering existing concrete, stone, & mortar samples to ensure new materials match the historic ones. We’ll be reusing some of the original stone to build a seating area, allowing visitors to sit & enjoy the tranquil space. Historic artifacts & info will also be on display near the aqueduct as a bonus!

JLK Architects' Susan Turner joined Envision Unlimited for a BBQ at the White Hill Community Integrated Living Arrangement (CILA) to introduce the (CSS) board to the Envision organization, its members, and to present the new ADA-compliant Dream House CILA on Chicago’s southwest side. CSS is working to provide solar power technology to rural Illinois.

JLK proudly partners with Envision Unlimited to provide pro bono architectural services for the Dream House. Construction begins this fall! Learn more about their wonderful mission and support the at ada4envision.org.
