Oak Park River Forest High School Addition

The demolition of an existing one-story cafeteria and three stories of classrooms made way for the construction of the new three-story 40,000 square foot addition housing the new south cafeteria and a two-floor student resource center with learning stair. Brick veneer with cold-formed metal framing wrap the composite steel framed floors and a bar joist roof designed for future solar arrays. Steel moment resisting frames provide lateral stability. The new basement required underpinning the adjacent slab-on-grade structures.
