Scope Of Work
Lane Technical College Prep High School is the largest in the city and the 6th largest in the state of IL. The entire 607,000 SF building needed to be completed rehabilitated inside and out. Roofs & skylights were leaking, masonry walls were crumbling, and the windows and doors didn’t operate properly. As a result, the building had been subjected to water penetration for years causing extensive water damage and wear on the interior finishes. The school houses approximately 4,500 students and 300 faculty/staff during the school year and is home to countless extracurricular activities, academic clubs, sporting events and meetings. A project of this magnitude would be complicated on its own, but this project had to be performed with a fully occupied school and without any disruption to academic life for the student body.
