Recommendations are proposed actions or strategies that are suggested based on the assessment of the baseline data and analysis of the current situation. These recommendations are intended to address identified gaps, challenges, or areas for improvement. They provide guidance on the actions that should be taken to move toward the desired outcome of the objective. Recommendations answer the question, “What are we going to do?”

Implementation refers to the actual execution or carrying out of the recommended actions or strategies. It involves putting the proposed recommendations into practice, allocating necessary resources, assigning responsibilities, following established timelines and/or meeting milestones. Implementation requires leadership, coordination, monitoring, and management to ensure that the planned actions are effectively executed.

Measurement involves assessing and evaluating the progress and outcomes of the implemented actions in relation to the objectives. It includes collecting and analyzing relevant data, metrics, or indicators to determine the extent to which the objectives have been achieved. Measurement helps to track the success of the objectives, identify areas for further improvement or adjustment, and inform future decision-making processes. Measurements may be binary (e.g., completed or not completed), quantitative, or qualitative. Measurements answer the question, “How will we know if we are successful?”

The recommendation was for DLA Architects to develop three design options that meet the needs identified during the baseline phase, and that these be presented to the Board of Education, along with estimated costs and funding options, in fall 2023. 

completed

At the October 3, 2023 Barrington 220 Board of Education meeting, the Board heard a presentation from DLA Architects about possibilities for new fine, visual, and performing arts spaces at Barrington High School. The design work for these new spaces was an identified project within the $147 million dollar referendum that Barrington area voters approved in March 2020. The cost to build these new spaces was not included in the referendum.

The following conceptual options were presented to the Board of Education: 

• Option 1: This option involves renovating the existing auditorium, as well as fine arts classrooms. The renovated auditorium would have approximately 487 seats. (The current auditorium seats approximately 700, however, it is not ADA-accessible. In order to meet present-day accessibility requirements, there would be less space for seating.) This option also involves building two additions near the auditorium, which include new practice spaces for fine arts students, a larger band room, a green room, a multi-purpose room, a new production shop, and a new fine arts lobby. Larger and more dressing rooms are also included in the renovations. The projected estimate is $45,000,000 - $53,195,000. Click here for details.
   
• Option 2: This option involves building a new auditorium and renovating existing fine arts classrooms. The renovation will also result in a larger band room, a larger choral room, a larger orchestra room, as well as larger and more dressing rooms. The new auditorium would have approximately 969 seats and be ADA-accessible. This option also involves building a production shop and a new fine arts lobby. The projected estimate is $52,000,000 - $57,020,000. Click here for details.
   
• Option 3: This option involves building a new auditorium in the same spot as the current auditorium, a new music (band, orchestra, choir) wing, a new flexible space that could serve as an art gallery or community space, larger and more dressing rooms, as well as renovating existing fine arts spaces. The new auditorium would have approximately 1,230 seats and be ADA-accessible. The projected estimate is $68,297,000 - $72,973,000. Click here for details.
