College of Dupage Carol Stream Community Education Center

As the newest regional education center for the College of DuPage, this former fire station hosts a variety of learning opportunities tailored to the Carol Stream community.

The Carol Stream Community Education Center provides classes suited for first time students and adults seeking targeted training for career advancement. Serving as the heart of the building, the space that formerly housed fire trucks now serves as a high volume, transparent technology/community center, revealing a wood roof deck from the original facility. Classroom spaces incorporate principles of sustainability and are located at the building’s edge to maximize use of natural light. Sunscreen devices and shading have been installed to limit solar gain and glare.
