Work is scheduled to start in the coming weeks on a field house at Eisenhower High School in Blue Island, part of a multimillion-dollar capital project in High School District 218.

A performance theater at the district’s Richards High School in Oak Lawn is part of the long-range project, as well as additions to gyms there and the district’s Shepard High School in Palos Heights. The field house at Eisenhower will include basketball courts and a 160-meter indoor track. It will attach to the west side of the school’s campus along 127th Street between the school and baseball field.

Barron said the improvements are long overdue, particularly at Eisenhower, which serves the largest population of at-risk students of any of the district’s three schools.For the field house addition, he said “the architects have really done a nice job of blending old with the new.”
