Case Study
Lake Forest College
Relationship
Scott Savage began Raincoat Roofing’s relationship with Lake Forest College in the mid-2010s. Lake Forest College has been a historic educational institution on the North Shore of Chicago, founded in 1857, as one of the first higher education campuses in the Chicagoland area. With classic 19th and 20th Century architecture, mature oak trees, and numerous green spaces, the College has been and remains a popular place to film movies, among other valuable assets that set this campus apart from others in the state of Illinois.
