A multiyear upgrade of 12 Barrington Area Unit District 220 buildings is expected to start this summer with construction that will allow three schools to stop using mobile classrooms.
Grove Avenue Elementary School, Barrington Middle School’s Prairie Campus and Barrington Middle School’s Station Campus, all in Barrington, will get additions and various upgrades.
The district hired the architecture firm DLR Group and the construction company Pepper Construction for the multiyear project.
According to preliminary estimates, construction costs would be $17.7 million at the middle school’s Station Campus, which was built in 1966; $13.2 million at Prairie Campus, built in 1992; and $8.6 million at Grove Elementary, built in 1953.
Construction bids for the two middle schools will be presented for approval to the school board Tuesday.
