Sojourner Truth Building

Owner: Brand New Beginnings, Inc.
Location: Chicago, IL

Infrastructure Engineering, Inc. completed information technology work for Brand New Beginnings (BNB), a faith-based community housing development organization based in the south side of Chicago. BNB currently operates an affordable housing project, the Sojourner Truth building, which houses twenty-four families and provides wraparound social services.

IEI worked with BNB to develop a classroom where tenants could acquire computer skills and learn job readiness training. Duties included setting up and networking 14 Windows XP based workstations and printers, troubleshooting various IT issues, and installing the latest Microsoft Windows updates and Symantec antivirus software on each computer. Repairs were also performed on existing office technology equipment to get BNB's classroom working efficiently.

Now that the classroom is up and running, IEI continues to work with BNB on an ongoing support basis. IEI will provide technical support, training, maintenance and will strategically plan to continually utilize top technology applications to support the mission and values of BNB.
