A Call for Illinois Artists: The Phillip J. Rock Center and School Glen Ellyn, Illinois

A new 24,665 square foot building is being constructed to replace the existing facility built in the 1960s. Once complete the existing building will be demolished to make way for a playground and site improvements.
The Philip J. Rock Center and School is more than a facility; it is an extended family to parents and their children who live with both hearing and vision disabilities. Our devoted staff accompany the kids throughout the day, constantly working toward the goal of helping each student live as independently as possible according to their personal abilities. The shared vision of "Together for Independence" makes this a reality.

The Philip J. Rock Center and School serves students who are deafblind, blind or visually impaired, or deaf or hard-of-hearing. Also, many students have mental and/or physical impairments. These students have multiple needs and require a functional academic curriculum with a focus on daily living skills. It is a publicly funded residential school serving students from the age of three through their twenty-second birthday/school year.
