North Barrington Elementary
An estimated $6.8 million out of the $147 million referendum will be spent at North Barrington Elementary School, which includes all construction costs and non-construction items such as safety and security, furniture and technology. Additional key projects include:
- Building a STEM addition in the current courtyard
- Building a sensory room in the library for students
Construction at North Barrington began in summer 2023. The sensory room was completed for the start of the 2023-24 school year. The STEM lab is anticipated to be completed this winter. Click here to view the September 2022 Community Design Presentation.
