Board sees schematic design for Northbrook Junior High expansion
Summary
Administrators presented schematic designs for Northbrook Junior High: a cafeteria/food‑service addition, three classrooms added where the current cafeteria sits, an office remodel for an accessible safe entrance, and a courtyard intended for about 50 people.
District staff presented schematic designs for Northbrook Junior High, showing a cafeteria and food‑service addition that will connect the basement and second floor and create three new classrooms where the current cafeteria is located.
The superintendent said designers worked with school administrators this summer "to really make sure that we have all of the components that they're hoping to have," noting the project will add instructional space and remodel the main office to provide an accessible, secure entry similar to other buildings. He described a planned courtyard that "will hold about 50 people" for outdoor instruction or staff/student lunch.
Staff said the schematic design also addresses site constraints—limited district‑owned land—and included a practical relocation of the trash container to fit the new footprint without seeking a village variance. The project is in schematic design and the district will return with additional details and schedules as designs are finalized.
