CPS Lovett Elementary School ‘Dever’ Beam Renovation
Chicago, IL
AltusWorks was selected as Architect leading the execution of an established design solution for removing the steel members and permanently repairing the concrete structure. Using Fiber-Reinforced Polymer technology, the concrete beams and joists are strengthened in place and in doing so significantly impact adjacent systems requiring accessibility improvements, masonry restoration; roof replacement; MEP modifications and interior finish repairs.
The $15M project was phased over 2 summers, commencing construction with the onset of the pandemic and when in-person instruction recommenced, the work continued while the school was occupied.
