Installation of new HVAC systems at Waterbury School.

Each summer District 20 undertakes several building maintenance and improvement projects to ensure the safe and efficient operation of our schools. 

In December 2014, District 20 updated its ten-year capital improvement program and included several important projects that will extend the life of our school buildings for many years to come. The Board of Education has built up funds to complete these projects through careful stewardship of tax payer dollars and by setting aside funds within the District Operations and Maintenance annual budget and reserves.  

For the summer of 2015 the district is completing the following projects:

 

Waterbury School will have a new boiler and chiller installed in a new building that will replace the roof top heating and ventilation systems the services the schools library, gym, and multiple classrooms surrounding the library.  These new systems will replace aging and inefficient roof top systems that must be replaced every ten years and shorten the life of our roofs. 

 

The new boiler and chiller system has the capacity to be expanded into all classrooms of the school, and over time will be tied into the rest of the building.  This project was publically bid and is being performed for the sum of $1,808,000 by Oak Brook Mechanical Inc. of Oak Brook, IL.

 

Greenbrook School will have its west parking lot and drainage system replaced.  This project was publically bid and is being performed for the sum of $159,800 by Maneval Construction of Ingleside, IL.

 

Spring Wood will have two classrooms improved for our new special education programs.  Our in-district maintenance staff will be completing electrical and plumbing improvements to meet the educational needs of students in those programs.

 

In addition our annual maintenance projects of thorough cleaning of all schools,  freshly waxed floors, resealed and restriped parking lots, and freshly painted walls in areas of need will all be completed and ready for students' return to school on August 19th.
