Malcolm X College West Campus reopens with Danny K. Davis Community Center

Malcolm X College celebrated the reopening of its expanded West Campus, which includes a renovated community center named in honor of U.S. Rep. Danny K. Davis, on Saturday with school officials, city and state elected officials and community leaders.

The college broke ground on the $20 million project to expand and renovate its Far West Side satellite campus at 4624 W. Madison St. in November 2024. Now complete, the project culminated in a ribbon-cutting ceremony marking the reopening of the Malcolm X West Campus building. The building houses the former West Side Learning Center, which was renamed the Danny K. Davis Community Center in August. Saturday’s reopening also marked the return of in-person classes at the campus, just days before City Colleges of Chicago students are scheduled to begin the second half of the fall semester.
