Mather Cafe’s Norwood Park and Chatham locations renovated their facilities to meet the changing desires of the community and support new program needs. The project included transforming outdated computer rooms into flexible multipurpose spaces that can accommodate groups of varying sizes for presentations, seminars, fitness activities, dances, performances, and/or serve as expanded cafe seating. Additionally, upgrades to lighting fixtures, paint colors, and furniture help give the cafes a new life.
