Pennoyer School breaks ground to construct building addition

The first phase of three construction phases for Pennoyer School in Norridge will include a building addition on the north side of the building, next to the gym.

Plans call for the building addition to be placed between the gym and classrooms on the north side of the existing school building. It will include two locker rooms, an elevator, an art/music studio, 10 bathrooms, and two spaces for group instruction, according to Superintendent Kristin Kopta. School Board President Shelia Wachholder, said, “So many people played such a role in making this happen, and they continue to believe and support this project even after several failed attempts. Our Pennoyer pride is definitely strong.”Board of Education members and administrators of Pennoyer School District 79 and associates prepare for the ceremonial groundbreaking for a building addition on March 13 at Pennoyer School.

Also in the existing space, the bathrooms will be completely renovated to become ADA accessible, lead pipes for drinking water will be replaced, the school’s fire detection system will be updated and the HVAC system will be replaced in the gym and multipurpose room, which doubles as the school’s cafeteria. The school’s recreation area, including the playground and basketball court, will have new blacktop.
