The Francis W. Parker School is an independent K-12 school founded in 1901 located in the near north side of Chicago. Following completion of a previous science wing renovation project for Francis W. Parker School in the Winter of 2005, Project Management Advisors Inc. (PMA) was selected to manage their fourth floor addition project. PMA was charged with managing the complex design and construction activities associated with this project, while adhering to strict school schedules and deadlines. Additionally, PMA helped coordinate a detailed site logistics plan that will allow the school to occupy adjacent classrooms and outdoor spaces during the 2006-2007 school year with minimal impact to the schools administration, faculty and students.
The project included a 10,587 square foot addition of a fourth floor to an existing three story structure that now houses an art studio, graphics and video lab, wet photography lab with dark room, and other fine arts classrooms. PMA services included procurement, contract review, budgeting, scheduling, design review, construction administration and the management of
numerous owner vendors.
