Renovations
First built as Lisle Community High School in 1956, the current Lisle Junior High School building began serving junior high students in 1974. Since that time, this facility has seen one significant renovation in the 1980s that expanded the commons area and added the District Office space to the front of the building; however, it has not seen any large scale renovations to the learning/classroom spaces since before it became Lisle Junior High School.
This summer, renovations will begin for the first time in almost 40 years to create learning spaces that better meet the current demands of teaching and learning. The renovations will primarily focus on modernizing and upgrading learning spaces such as science, technology, and special education, while also improving entrance security, replacing windows, upgrading lighting, and updating the building’s heating and air conditioning units. Renovations will be completed during the summers as shown on the timeline below to reduce the impact on students and staff and are expected to be fully completed at the end of the summer of 2027.
As part of the first round of construction projects this summer, the District Office has moved to the Lisle Village Hall through an intergovernmental agreement. The space at the Junior High will be renovated, returned to classrooms, and be ready for students in the fall of 2024.
Lisle 202 is pleased to share that through careful financial planning, the District is positioned to renovate the Lisle Junior High School learning environments without increasing taxes beyond what is currently paid. The District intends to fund the majority of the project through the issuance of bonds and pay for the renovations over a period of approximately 18 years.
The current District Office has occupied the north section of the building since the 1980s. This space will be reclaimed and transformed into to four new classrooms.
