STRUXC recently completed the historic restoration of the Chicago Park District’s Blackhawk Park Fieldhouse, a beloved community landmark dating back to the 1920s. The project honored the building’s original character while transforming it into a safer, more accessible, and more resilient facility for future generations. 

Exterior improvements featured a full roof replacement, new insulation, tuckpointing, stucco repairs, and a fresh repaint that restored the building’s classic appearance. New energy-efficient windows and secure doors enhanced performance and safety, while comprehensive sitework—ranging from improved drainage to new paving, sidewalks, and landscaping—resolved long-standing flooding issues and improved circulation throughout the grounds. 

Interior renovations blended historic charm with modern functionality. The main foyer now features new terrazzo flooring, complemented by upgraded lobby and corridor finishes. Restrooms and locker rooms were fully renovated, and accessibility was significantly improved with ADA-compliant entrances, fixtures, and the installation of a vertical platform lift, providing access to all levels. 

This restoration breathes new life into a nearly century-old structure, preserving its legacy while creating a welcoming, fully accessible space that will continue to serve the community for decades to come.
