The Francis W. Parker School (FWP) is an independent K-12 school, founded in 1901 and located in Lincoln Park neighborhood on the Near North side of Chicago. After successful completion of various FWP projects including an auditorium renovation, fine arts classroom addition and science wing renovation, Project Management Advisors, Inc. (PMA) was again retained to manage their playground renovation project.
Working with school faculty members, PMA managed the programming, playground design and equipment selection process. To maximize cost savings, PMA procured the play equipment directly from the vendors, and oversaw the installation during summer break to maximize play time once the school reopened for the school year.
