The Niles North High School Aquatics Center was
one of three projects to receive an Award of Merit in the 2013 Exhibition ofEducational Environments, a competition sponsored by the Illinois
Association of School Boards (IASB), Illinois Association of School
Administrators (IASA), and Illinois Association of School Business
Officials (IASBO). The award applauds excellence in educational environment
design, energy efficiency, and safety.
“It feels great to know that our school district
continues to lead the state and nation when it comes to building sustainable,
environmentally-friendly, and energy-efficient facilities,” said Ryan McTague, Niles
North principal. “We are very proud of the example our school is setting
for educational institutions and communities throughout our nation.”
The project was on display at the conference, one of
the nation’s largest state education conferences. Among its 9,000 attendees
were school board members, superintendents, administrators, state
and regional educators and officials, and university
staff.
