Some of the best-looking Chicago schools these days have been the charter campuses built—with surprising frequency, as of late — by the United Neighborhood Organization.

The group’s newest facility, the UNO Galewood Charter School, which opened late last month is no exception. Tucked away at 2050 N. Natchez on a residential street in the city’s Galewood community, the three-story school leaps from its surroundings. Most notable is the remarkable sloped roof on the southern end of the school. The roof surface has small slit-like windows to let in natural light while glass walls enclose the space beneath, creating a two-story, multiuse space topped by a third floor library.

Like a good neighbor, the school greets the street well, with an open glassy entrance and warmly-colored siding.
