The Barack Obama Presidential Center is a museum, library, and education project in Chicago to commemorate the presidency of Barack Obama, the 44th president of the United States. The center includes community and conference facilities and houses the nonprofit Obama Foundation. It also serves as the home base for some of the Obama Foundation's programs. The dedication ceremony is scheduled for June 18, 2026, followed by its opening to the public the next day, on Juneteenth. In May 2026, it was projected that the Presidential Center would get over 700,000 visitors each year.

Four Black-owned construction firms teamed up with the Turner Construction Company to create the Lakeside Alliance to build the center. The participating firms included Powers & Sons Construction Company, Brown & Momen, and UJAMAA Construction. By working together, the alliance completed the center over nine years. More than 4,5000 men and women worked in unity to bring the center to its finish line. Executive Vice President at Powers & Sons Construction, Kelly Powers Baria said, “It forces everyone to achieve, to reach for the highest standard. It’s bringing community and people together, people from many different backgrounds.”
