Demolition work on the old Robert Crown Community Center to begin the week of March 9

Demolition of the old Robert Crown Community Center will begin the week of March 9. The process is expected to take seven weeks to complete. 

Week 1: Mobilize equipment and abate asbestos inside the building
Weeks 2 to 4: Dismantle and haul away above-grade building sections
Weeks 5 to 7: Excavate and remove building foundations

Demolition work will be conducted between 7 a.m. and 3 p.m., Monday through Friday. Work may occasionally be conducted on Saturdays, depending on weather conditions and contractor progress.

During asbestos abatement and demolition work, the contractor will follow all OSHA, IEPA, Cook County, and IDPH regulations to ensure the safety of workers and the general public, as well as for the proper handling and disposal of materials. An independent environmental engineering firm will also perform ambient air monitoring to ensure air quality requirements are met. Water will be used extensively to control dust and dirt from becoming airborne. Vibration monitoring equipment will also be installed to alert the contractor in the event that construction-related vibrations approach levels which could potentially damage adjacent structures.
