PROJECT NAME Wyandotte High School
PROJECT LOCATION Kansas City, Kansas
PROJECT ARCHITECT ACI/Frangkiser Hutchens Architects
PROJECT GENERAL CONTRACTOR J.E. Dunn Construction
NUMBER OF WINDOWS 985
SCOPE OF WORK Provided and installed historic aluminum replacement windows that matched original sizes and profiles. Windows featured monumental sizing with a self-balancing hardware design.
Ground was broken for the present structure on July 19, 1935 and construction was completed on March 4, 1937. The reconstructed school, called Wyandotte High School, is situated on a 27-acre tract of land. It represented an investment in 1935 of slightly over 2 1/2 million dollars at the time of its erection. Listed in the National Registry as an historic site, Wyandotte is known all over the world for the classic beauty of its magnificent architecture.


The school's 1,796 seat auditorium features the Indian motif. A frieze, done in various shades of tan and brown brick, captures images of nature such as geese, squirrels, deer, hawks, cats and Indians. The Southwestern influence is also reflected in Indian pottery that adorns the walls on both sides of the stage.

Re-View was responsible for the demo and disposal of the original window sash and frames and the installation of the replicated aluminum window systems on 985 window units.Re-View also replaced the greenhouse. All of the work had to be completed during the summer over a three-month time frame before school was back in session. This project serves as a great example of the capacity for Re-View to perform on large projects with tight schedules.
