Waukegan Park District was selected as a finalist for the Chicago Building Congress 2007 Merit Award. The 84,000 sq. ft. community center houses six full size basketball/volleyball courts, multi-level fitness center, elevated walking and running track, not to mention a branch of the Waukegan Public Library. The building is full of environmentally friendly design features. Skylights and large glass windows used throughout the building flood the Field House with natural light for beauty, plus energy conservation, effective ventilation and increased productivity. W.B. Olson, Inc. is proud to be a part of the renaissance effort to revitalize the City of Waukegan through the construction of Waukegan Park District's Field House at Hinkston Park. 
Bravo to Ravinia Festival for the elegantly appointed new dining pavilion completed for the upcoming 2007 festival season. W.B. Olson, Inc. has delivered the building, utilizing a fast track schedule over the winter months, yet maintaining the quality of construction required by an organization like Ravinia. The new dining pavilion houses four banquet rooms, a cafe and two large commercial kitchens. Look for the new dining pavilion under the stars at Ravinia this season.
