$74.5 million Bradley-Bourbonnais high-school facilities project breaks ground
Bradley-Bourbonnais Community High School began a $74.5 million facilities project June 29, 2026, starting a multiyear construction effort that will change academic spaces, the main circulation route and athletic facilities serving students and families in Bradley and the surrounding district.
The groundbreaking ceremony marked the formal start of the project at the school facilities. The reported work is scheduled to continue through August 2028, when the project is slated for completion. That date is a target, not a confirmed final completion date.
What is planned
The project includes renovations to the school’s main building and remodeled academic spaces. Plans also call for a remodeled main circulation corridor, changing a central route used within the building.
A field-house addition is included as part of the same project. Together, the work combines renovations to existing instructional areas with changes to the building’s circulation space and an addition to the school’s facilities.
For students, parents and staff, the immediate change is the beginning of construction activity. The eventual effect described in the project report is updated academic and circulation space, along with the added field house. The available information does not say whether classes will be relocated or how specific parts of the school will be used while work proceeds.
Construction timeline and what remains unknown
The August 2028 completion target places the project across multiple school years. The source report does not provide interim deadlines for the academic renovations, circulation corridor or field-house addition, so there is no confirmed schedule for when individual parts will become available.
It also does not identify a construction contractor or provide a detailed phasing plan. The packet contains no bond authorization date, school-calendar coordination details or information about possible class relocations. Those details could affect how students and employees experience the work, but they have not been established in the approved material.
The project is for Bradley-Bourbonnais Community High School, identified in the report as the project site and a Bradley-area institution. The available search record does not provide the facility’s exact street address or establish that the school is inside Bradley village limits.
For now, the confirmed next milestone is the scheduled August 2028 completion target. Additional information about construction phases, school-calendar effects and the contractor was not included in the report documenting the June 29 groundbreaking.
