Morris Community High School in Morris, Illinois, is scheduled to break ground next month on a $67 million addition.
The Morris Herald-News reports that the project, approved by voters in 2025, calls for demolition of the school's unattached buildings. The addition will change the school’s L-shape into a square and will create a courtyard in the center.
The Morris school board approved a $14,385,265 bid for building concrete, steel, masonry, glazing, cold-formed, roofing and geothermal. That will enable work on the building to begin in May.
The project also will move the cafeteria out of the basement, provide more classrooms, and renovate older parts of the school. HVAC systems will be replaced, and the electrical system on campus will be upgraded.
