Plans For Addition At Hadley, Homer Junior High Out For Bid

HOMER GLEN, IL — Plans for a building addition at District 33C's Hadley Middle School and Homer Junior High School continue to move forward.

Superintendent Craig Schoppe said the addition will connect the two schools, and that the project is currently out for bid. The Board of Education will review and possibly award a bid at the January board meeting.

The planned addition is 52,312 square feet.

"The base bid includes 10 additional classrooms, one shared library, [and] one large cafeteria which will include a dividing wall for each school," Schoppe said.

Schoppe added that the District also has 10 alternate bid projects, which will be considered as well.

"Those alternate bid projects include a new gym along with interior renovation work which will create additional classrooms," Schoppe said.

Hadley Middle School was built in 1987, and Homer Junior High was built in 1981, according to Village Board documents. Additions were built in 2003 and 2004.

"The project will address current space issues at both buildings and provide flexibility across both buildings to address future enrollment growth," Schoppe said.
