Lvl Up is a local coffee shop in Bronzeville. The coffee shop not only serves the neighborhood but mentor the community’s youth from nearby schools. Civic Projects is working with Architecture for Public Benefit to design this project.

The space will provide both a quick coffee in the morning and space for a more leisurely encounter. This upbeat and lively space will be a host to small local events and support professionals connecting with each other and youth. The design showcases a playful floor with light toned custom millwork throughout. As a new business in Bronzeville the project fills a much needed gap in the community.
