Shuck Corporation recently completed a series of performance and infrastructure upgrades at IPS Northwest Middle School, enhancing both the visual and functional aspects of the school’s auditorium and stage. A key feature of the project included the demolition and installation of new refinishing of the existing wood stage flooring, which was sanded, stained (with color selected by the architect), and sealed with two coats of satin urethane to restore its original luster and durability.
In addition to the aesthetic updates, Shuck led a comprehensive lighting and electrical overhaul, which involved the full replacement of theatrical lighting along with all associated electrical work to support the new system. The project also focused on upgrading the theatrical lighting capabilities, including the installation of new distribution systems, power and control devices, and all-new theatrical lighting fixtures. As part of the scope, existing dimmer racks were removed and replaced with customer-provided units, seamlessly integrated using the existing feeders per the bid specifications.
To complete the transformation of the performance space, new stage curtains were installed, giving the auditorium a refreshed and professional appearance. This project demonstrates Shuck Corporation’s commitment to quality craftsmanship, attention to detail, and delivering value in educational construction environments.
