New Charter School Administration Building

Representatives from Powers & Sons joined administrators and teachers from Northwest Indiana Lighthouse Charter Schools to celebrate their latest expansion project in June.

ADMINISTRATION BUILDING

  • Location: 1775 W. 41st Avenue | Gary, IN
  • Client: Northwest Indiana Lighthouse Charter Schools
This new 4,800 SF building on West 41st Street in Gary, Indiana is being designed by architect Roslyn Mitchell of Forms+Funktion.

Powers & Sons will oversee all site preparation work, including excavation, drainage and groundwater control,  and utilities installation. When complete, the new two-story, three-elevation structure will feature a shallow-spread foundation for subsurface stability and reach a height of 24.5 feet.

Northwest Indiana Lighthouse Charter Schools opened its doors in 2005 to serve K-5 scholars and families in Gary. Since then, they have expanded to serve K-12 students from five locations. The administration building will be their sixth property and will allow the school’s administrative team to be closer to faculty, staff, and students.
