Homewood-Flossmoor High School is tracking the progress of the construction of its new field house via time-lapse photography. The new building is projected to cost $26 million.
Homewood-Flossmoor High School students, alumni, teachers and residents of the Homewood-Flossmoor area might have noticed a bit of construction taking place at the high school over the previous several months. The project, which will result in the school having a new field house, is projected to cost $26 million. The project is currently underway and although those who attend and work at the school have seen the day-to-day progress, some residents may have missed the tear down of the old field house. Luckily, the entire project is being photographed and made into a time lapse video. Residents can check out the video by simply clicking here. The new field house is expected to be completed for the 2014 school year.
