Comment on Huntley District 158 fine arts expansion on target to finish this summer

An about $4.4 million addition to the fine arts wing of Huntley High School is on schedule to be finished before the start of the 2020-21 academic year, Huntley School District 158 Operations and Maintenance Director Doug Renkosik said. The project – which is funded through existing state capital grant funding awarded to the district – will add a black box theater and additional space for fine arts programs in the fine arts wing of the high school. During the District 158 Board’s Thursday meeting, Renkosik said roofing should begin Friday and once waterproofing is finished, interior work can be completed. In 2018, the board approved a proposed fee from Wold Architects and Engineers Inc.
