Bremen High School Field House Gets Contemporary, Yet Timeless Design
Originally established in 1980, Architectural Resource Corporation’s founders earned an enduring reputation for superior client service and design. Current owner and lead architect Ari Berdusis purchased the Frankfort-based business 12 years ago and has continued the tradition of striving for quality assurance and excellence. With close to 80% of its business designated as municipal, the firm is known for pursuing the next level of design and construction to better serve its communities. Berdusis combines critical thinking and attention to detail to drive the success of all projects, including his recent dazzling field house additions to four Southwest Chicago high schools that comprise Bremen High School District 228.
The district has undergone vast expansion since the original Bremen High School opened its doors to students in September of 1953. To keep up with the area’s subsequent increase in population, three additional high schools were constructed—Tinley Park in 1961, Hillcrest in 1967 and Oak Forest in 1970—creating a four high school district, which now serves over 5,000 students and employs 613 full and part-time staff members.
