District prepares for Carl Sandburg stage addition
Plans to build a stage at Carl Sandburg Middle School are moving ahead. The project began in March when construction crews fenced off the main entrance to the school.
The L-shaped addition on the school’s southeast side, will include a handicapped accessible stage, dressing rooms and storage. The estimated capacity will be about 200, similar to the size of the Lincoln School stage. The gymnasium near the school office will remain in place and serve as a seating area for performances. The addition will not interfere with the school’s bus lanes.
The District 75 School Board in December awarded the bid of $7 million from Stuckey Construction of Waukegan to complete the work.
