These exciting projects represent a significant investment in our athletic facilities and will provide enhanced experiences for our students, staff, and community for years to come.</p><p>One of our priorities is to minimize disruptions to school activities while maintaining access to our athletic facilities for as long as possible. We have worked closely with our architects, construction managers, and school administrators to develop a construction schedule that balances the significant work ahead with the needs of our students and athletic programs.</p><h2>Construction Timeline</h2><p>Our last scheduled use of the stadium fields for the fall season is Friday, November 13, 2026. Construction will begin shortly afterward, with the following anticipated schedule:</p><ul><li>Week of November 16 - Contractor mobilization and staging.</li><li>Week of November 23 - Demolition of existing home bleachers and stadium lighting.</li><li>Winter through Summer 2027 - Construction continues, with both stadiums expected to be ready by late August 2027.</li></ul><p>To minimize disruptions to school operations and reduce the impact of construction-related traffic, all construction personnel will utilize designated parking areas at each school. At Glenbrook North, construction personnel will park in the cage lot, while those at Glenbrook South will utilize a portion of the west parking lot adjacent to the stadium. Access to these designated areas will be restricted for the duration of construction.</p><h2>Spring Athletic Activities</h2><p>An important part of construction planning has been maintaining access to turf fields and tracks for as much of the spring athletic season as possible. We worked closely with the construction management team to develop a schedule that allows both schools to continue using these facilities into the spring:</p><ul><li>Glenbrook North: Stadium Turf Field, Track &amp; Field Events available through May 13.</li><li>Glenbrook South: Stadium Turf Field, Track &amp; Field Events available through April 23.</li><li>Construction at Glenbrook South must begin earlier to accommodate the complete replacement of its track, including extensive work to the underlying stone base. By delaying construction at Glenbrook North, we can continue to accommodate practices and games for teams from both schools at the site through the end of the regular spring season.</li></ul><p>Throughout the spring season, the home bleachers, permanent restrooms, concession stands, booster shop, and ticket booth will be unavailable due to construction. However, the existing visitor bleachers will remain accessible to provide seating for athletic events, and new stadium lighting will be installed prior to the start of the spring season. Temporary restrooms will be available during construction.</p><p>All other outdoor athletic facilities, including auxiliary grass fields, baseball and softball fields, and tennis courts, will remain available. For safety purposes, temporary fencing and other safety measures will separate construction activities from areas that remain in use.</p><h2>Construction During the School Day</h2><p>Construction will continue throughout the winter and spring, including during regular school hours. Temporary fencing will be installed to safely separate construction zones from areas of campus that remain in use. Contractors will use designated parking and staging areas to minimize disruptions to school operations.</p><p>It is not anticipated that there will be any significant disruptions to classroom instruction or the regular school day. However, our administrators will continue to monitor construction activities and keep students, staff, and families informed of anything that may impact daily operations.</p><p>We recognize that these projects will require some adjustments along the way, and we sincerely appreciate the patience, flexibility, and understanding of our students, families, and staff. Should you have any questions, please reach out to the following individuals:</p><ul><li>Glenbrook North: Matthew Bowser, Associate Principal of Operations and Student Experiences, at mbowser@glenbrook225.org, or (847) 509-2404</li><li>Glenbrook South: Casey Wright, Associate Principal of Operations and Student Experiences, at cwright@glenbrook225.org, or (847) 486-4402.</li></ul><p>We are excited about the improvements ahead and look forward to welcoming our students and community back to both stadiums in late August 2027. As construction progresses, we will continue to share updates and keep our school communities informed.</p></div></body>
