Approaching the Kam L. Liu Building of the Chinese American
Service League from the Chinese Gate and other familiar parts
of Chicago's Chinatown, one notices three things: the building's
titanium-cladding, a decorative
sunshade
and balcony on the west exposure, and the lift bridges
and their massive counterweights to the north. Designed by
local firm Studio Gang/O'Donnell (now Studio
Gang), the east-west oriented three-story accommodates
numerous programs in its 38,000 s.f. for the Chinese-American
population, especially recent arrivals.
