Path Construction completed schoolyard improvements at George Washington High School in Chicago, Illinois, as part of Chicago Public Schools’ Space to Grow initiative. The project transformed the school’s outdoor areas into functional spaces for student recreation, gathering, and outdoor learning while incorporating green infrastructure to support stormwater management. Improvements included new concrete walkways, stone steppers, rain gardens, ornamental fencing, and various landscaping enhancements throughout the site. Additional upgrades included a basketball court, light poles, and site furnishings such as tables, benches, and planters to support daily student use. As the first high school to participate in the Space to Grow program, Washington High School’s revitalized grounds provide expanded opportunities for outdoor activities and community engagement.
