The UJAMAA team was selected by WINGS Metro, Inc. to provide construction services for their new Two-story state-of-the-art facility and domestic violence shelter located on the Southside of Chicago. The building consists of a 6,300sqft renovation of an existing police station and construction of a 6,200sqft two-story masonry addition with a 20 stall parking lot.

This new 23,200sqft interim housing and support services incorporate both new construction and adaptive re-use components. The facility includes 40 Shelter beds with suite-style living environments. Modern full kitchen, laundry facility, meeting rooms, retail space, computer lab, and a private garden with play space.

Ujamaa had to resolve environmental issues that we were existing in the earthwork and the existing facility. The building was received a curved metal-clad exterior.

The construction professionals from UJAMAA will self-perform the carpentry and general labor trades on this facility.
