This is an excerpt from our 30-minute virtual tour The Breakfast Club: Unlocking Shermer High, which takes you around Shermer High-the former suburban Chicago high school where the iconic 1985 teen movie "The Breakfast Club" was filmed. Moreover, the full tour uncovers how the film, architecture, and prison collide.
Key Points in this excerpt:
1. The virtual tour explores Maine North High School, the former suburban Chicago High School where the 1985 teen movie "The Breakfast Club" was filmed.
2. The school, in existence from 1970 to 1981, adopted the brutalist architectural style, characterized by minimalist constructions, heavy and solid shapes, monochrome colors, and an overwhelming use of raw concrete.
3. The tour discusses how the brutalist architecture of the school reflects the theme of teenagers feeling imprisoned in their lives, as portrayed in the movie.
4. "The Breakfast Club" director, John Hughes, wrote the film with the specific location of Maine North High School in mind, filming the majority of the scenes in and around the school due to budget constraints.
5. Currently, the former school serves as the state of Illinois Central Management Services facility and the Illinois State Police District Chicago headquarters, with a history of being repurposed for various uses over time.
