The DREAM Center will allow us new opportunities towards expansion, enhancement, and diversification of our activities. With its dynamic pop-up space for local entrepreneurs, the DREAM Center will represent the first commercial structure erected on this stretch of Woodrow Wilson Street in more than a decade. Woodrow Wilson Street was once a bustling commercial corridor, and from DREAM’s founding it has been part of our vision to bring Woodrow Wilson Street back as our neighborhood’s “Main Street,” providing goods and services to community members in an area growing steadily in residential density.  Relatedly, the DREAM Center includes a publicly accessible Community Courtyard where neighbors passing by can stop for a rest, where young people can read or study, and where patrons of the pop-up shop and participants of the digital literacy program can take a break outside. As the first step in Woodrow Wilson Street’s commercial comeback, the purpose-built DREAM Center will serve as a powerful symbol of DREAM’s enduring commitment to creating a resource-rich and welcoming neighborhood founded in the principles of community-engaged planning and design.
