Through his Rebuild Foundation, Gates has transformed a number of abandoned buildings in the Grand Crossing neighborhood, beginning with the Stony Island Trust & Savings Bank building, which became the Stony Island Arts Bank, a public arts space and facility at 68th Street and Stony Island Avenue. Rebuild also turned three vacant buildings in the 6900 block of South Dorchester Avenue into a combination of living quarters and art space, while the Dorchester Art+Housing Collaborative grew out of a former public housing project and now serves as housing and work space for artists and community members. The transition of the closed St. Laurence Catholic elementary school building, 1353 E. 72nd St., into an arts incubator, is another Rebuild project.
