Construction Camera Featured Project: Winnetka Campus East Side Academic & Athletic Project

SUMMARY:

The Winnetka Campus ESAA project — an education construction project in Winnetka, Illinois — used our newest and most powerful 4K construction camera, the iBEAM Fixed 4K Premier, to monitor and document progress at the job site.

Location: Winnetka, IL
Industry: Education

Project: East Side Academic & Athletic Project
Camera Used: iBEAM Fixed Premier 4K Construction Camera

 

Project Background:

Located in Winnetka, Illinois, the Winnetka Campus ESAA project saw the renovation and replacement of aging buildings with new athletic and academic spaces.

The $79.5 million project replaced the 1928 Gates Gymnasium and the 1925 Boiler Plant with a new multipurpose facility featuring:

  • new academic spaces
  • new auxiliary gyms
  • an indoor track
  • new weight and strength conditioning facilities
  • a new climbing wall and high ropes course
  • improved security
  • improved energy efficiency

Needs:

As an education construction project, New Trier High School wanted to utilize a construction camera that would allow them real-time access to timely updates from the job site, as well as the ability to share regular photo and time-lapse movie updates from the project with the community (since a part of the project was funded via alternative revenue bonds).

The Solution:

After considering the construction camera options available to them, New Trier High School decided to put an iBEAM Fixed 4K Premier Construction Camera on their renovation and replacement project.

Thanks to the ultra light-sensitive Canon sensor in the Fixed 4K Premier camera, New Trier High School was able to capture detail-rich photos and compelling time-lapse movies of their project from day one. Coupled with the standard 90° wide-angle lens with fish-eye correction, the images and time-lapse movies speak for themselves:

Additionally, the camera's live-streaming HD video feature enabled New Trier High School to log in to their online camera console and easily see exactly what was happening on the job site whenever they liked, providing key real-time updates for school administrators and contractors alike.

Finally, the camera's 24/7/365-accessible online photo archives and on-demand 4K UltraHD time-lapse videos allowed New Trier High School to provide timely updates on their newest school project to the local community.
