Midwest Design Build offers no-cost assessment for Hinckley‑Big Rock school expansion and stadium redesign
Summary
Olivia and Dan of Midwest Design Build presented a no-cost facilities assessment recommending options including a possible elementary expansion if enrollment requires it and a high-school stadium redesign with a new 8-lane track and soccer-field renovation; financing and build-to-budget estimates were discussed.
Olivia and Dan of Midwest Design Build presented a no-cost assessment to the Hinckley‑Big Rock Community Unit School District #429 Building, Grounds & Transportation Committee on Feb. 4, 2026, outlining options for a potential future elementary-school expansion and a high-school stadium redesign.
The presentation described a full-scope stadium redesign that would include a new 8-lane track and renovation of the soccer field. Midwest Design Build also reviewed potential modifications to the bus barn to support new career and technical education (CTE) programs and discussed leasing and financing options and build-to-budget estimates. The consultants emphasized that the elementary-school expansion would proceed only if enrollment trends indicate a need.
Committee members did not take a formal vote on the presentation; the consultants' recommendations were recorded for consideration as staff and the board review capital needs and the FY27 budget. The committee will consider the ideas alongside other capital priorities when drafting the FY27 budget.
