Crete-Monee High School, a $160 million project in a southwestern
Chicago suburb, opened its doors for the 2007-2008 school year with
326,000 sq. ft. of useable space designed for up to 2,000 students.
Divided
in three primary areas - Academic, Fine Arts and Athletics - the school
design is unified by a wide concourse. With a mission is to teach
critical thinking and active learning, Crete-Monee challenges its
students to fulfill their potential and contribute to society.
Crete-Monee selected furniture for its classroom, computer lab, and
cafeteria in consultation with Frank Cooney Company. Sagus products from were chosen for their durability and
flexibility, which match the design qualities of the new school
overall.
Crete-Monee Classroom
To reflect the solidity and durability of the school building design, Artco-Bell Blue Hard Plastic Combos with Bookracks were chosen to outfit the classrooms.
Crete-Monee Computer Lab
Artco-Bell CF Computer Tables with Artco-Bell Stacking Solid Plastic chairs were chosen for the open floor section of the computer lab, while casework was paired with Artco-Bell Stacking Solid Plastic chairs in other areas of the lab. A common area facility, its chairs were specified for their ability to endure wear and tear.
Crete-Monee Cafeteria
The cafeteria has an upper and lower section. Midwest Mobile Round Stool Units were chosen for the ease with which they can be moved, as this smaller, upper section is often reconfigured for activities. Down in the larger lower section of the cafeteria are Midwest Mobile Rectangular Stool Units. They offer an expansive seating area and natural traffic flow to smoothly move large numbers of students through at lunchtime.
