Collaborative Space for Sustainable Development (CSSD) will centralize and professionalize the administrative, rehearsal, and education space needs of several resident companies as well as numerous additional arts space users under one roof.

We will maximize space, equipment, and shared service use through a well-designed suite of facility and service options that are customized and economized for each participant.  The project will be managed by CSSD's Program Manager, Bridget Rodgers, as well as CHRP's executive director.

CSSD is supported by the following major contributors: John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation; Gaylord and Dorothy Donnelley Foundation; Elaine Cohen Rubin and Arlen Rubin; The Joyce Foundation; The Boeing Company; The Richard H. Driehaus Foundation; Pam Crutchfield; Alphawood; Arts Work Fund for Organizational Development; The Seabury Foundation; Jenner & Block LLP; and ProTen Realty Group.  This program is also partially supported by a grant from the Illinois Arts Council, a state agency.
