The Public Building Commission of Chicago (PBC) plans, designs and constructs municipal buildings – schools, libraries, field houses, fire stations and more.
The Commission is a municipal corporation created pursuant to the provisions of the Public Building Commission Act (50 ILCS 20 et. seq.) (the Act), adopted by the Legislature of the State of Illinois on July 5, 1955. The PBC’s first major project was the construction of the Richard J. Daley Center.
The PBC is committed to the responsible stewardship of public resources. On behalf of clients, the PBC develops buildings that stabilize neighborhoods, helping to make the communities of Chicago and Cook County better and safer places to live.
