Reviving the innovative schools in the Midwest's hub of Modernist architecture has become a focus of attention. The region, known for its avant-garde designs, is witnessing a resurgence in interest in educational institutions following a recent wave of closures. With an estimated 20 schools shutting down in the past year alone, the community is moving towards reviving and preserving the unique architectural heritage. The initiative aims to restore and repurpose these buildings, with over 30 projects in progress. The effort is driven by the need to safeguard the area's iconic structures and maintain its reputation as a center for cutting-edge architecture.
