Committee reviews 5‑year capital plan and space needs for Math and CTE

Homewood-Flossmoor Community High School District 233 Finance Committee · October 7, 2025

Summary

CSBO Dr. Lawrence Cook presented a revised 5‑year capital plan including roofing, stadium and auditorium work, and a $1.3M punch list for the science addition; architects reported Math needs about 10,000 additional sq. ft. and CTE expansion for 13 pathways requires more hands-on space.

CSBO Dr. Lawrence Cook presented the revised five‑year capital improvement plan to the Finance Committee on Oct. 7, listing ongoing projects such as stadium track recoating, south tennis‑court resurfacing and auditorium lighting upgrades. Dr. Cook said top priorities—library and cafeteria roofing work and $1.3 million remaining punch list work for the science addition—are estimated at roughly $2.5 million and could rise to about $3.5 million depending on tennis‑court structural assessments; the FY25–26 total was listed as $5.22 million.

DLA Architects’ Ryan Kelley and Edward Wright reported results of conceptual studies for Math and career and technical education (CTE). Kelley said the Math program currently occupies about 12,730 sq. ft. and that an additional ~10,000 sq. ft. would be desirable; CTE currently has four labs while the district has 13 approved CTE pathways. Architects discussed whether combining HVAC work for A and B buildings could produce up to $1 million in savings; staff and architects will return with square‑footage plans and economic analyses to justify project phasing.
