Built between 1955 and 1956, Brandt school was named after Albert H. Brandt, the Oak Lawn Village President from 1935 to 1945. He was heavily involved in many community organizations and was instrumental in getting funds for the first unit of a firehouse to be built in Oak Lawn before he passed away in 1956. Brandt School closed in 1985 and District 123 opened the Science and Environmental Center in 1992. Currently, the building at 8901 S. 52nd Avenue is rented to Parkland Prep Academy.
