Antioch Community High School
Community High School District 117
Antioch, Illinois
Recognizing that the existing maintenance facility buildings at Antioch Community High School had long exceeded their life expectancies, a new, combined building was constructed utilizing split face concrete block and pre-finished metal roof to provide a long, maintenance-free structure. The design of the maintenance garage was executed with both functionality and safety in mind.
This included a fire suppression system, proper ventilation, and adequate lighting.
The interior of the garage was designed to maximize efficiency and easy of use. A storage mezzanine over the office / break room area provides adequate space for the vehicles and equipment, as well as space for tools and supplies.
The garage was also equipped with a lift to facilitate the maintenance and repair of vehicles and equipment.
Finally, the garage was equipped with appropriate safety features, such as a carbon monoxide and nitrous dioxide gas detection system, fire extinguishers, and signs indicating the location of safety equipment, in compliance with all local building codes and regulations.
The result is a facilities maintenance garage that will keep the district in good stead for years to come!
