Project Showcase: Wolf Branch Middle School
Wolf Branch Middle School – Swansea, Illinois
Three years ago a mine subsidence caused Wolf Branch Middle School to close. Today the school is schedule to open soon with a new replacement section of 44,000 sq. ft. and interior renovations of 18,000 sq. ft. The new addition features a gym, a multipurpose room that will house the cafeteria and kitchen, a stage, and a media center/library. G&S was involved in all the new areas of the school as well as some of the renovated sections.
Below are photos and descriptions of the products installed by G&S Architectural Products.
