Results of neighborhood survey from Alderwoman Maria Hadden's office. Thanks to all who answered the survey.

In July, the 49th Ward, Loyola University Chicago, and the Ignatian Mission Center hosted a community meeting regarding a proposed new development for the St. Ignatius campus at 6555-6559 N Glenwood and the former Waldorf School at 1300-1320 W Loyola. More information on the proposal is available on the 49th Ward website at 49thward.org/stignatius.

Following the meeting, a survey was shared for community members to complete, and our office received over 450 responses. You can find the survey results at https://bit.ly/IgnatianSurveyResults.

The survey results demonstrated overwhelming support for the Ignatian Mission Center’s adaptive reuse of the existing church and rectory to stand up a social service center and women’s shelter for survivors of domestic violence, with 92.1% of 49th Ward respondents supporting the proposal outright or with changes. While a majority of 49th Ward residents support Loyola University’s proposal to build 65 units of student housing at the former Waldorf School site located at 1300-1320 W. Loyola, that support was weaker than for the complementary Ignatian Mission Center proposal, with only 66.7% of 49th Ward respondents supporting the proposal outright or with changes. In the open-ended questions, respondents expressed concerns about other Loyola University-owned properties in the area that remain vacant and asked Loyola to provide affordable housing options for existing Rogers Park residents.

Our office is currently reviewing the survey results with Loyola University and the Ignatian Mission Center to see if there are opportunities to incorporate any of the feedback into a final plan. Keep an eye on our newsletter for updates on this proposal. Thank you all for sharing your input with us.
