Northbrook Company Building Educational Location For Local School

NORTHBROOK, IL — Design Construction Concepts, a full-service design-build renovation firm based in Northbrook, recently announced the start of construction on a new educational location for Brightmont Academy at 1799 Willow Road in Northfield, just west of the Edens Expressway. The fully accredited private school's Northfield campus is being designed by OKW Architects to provide a positive learning environment with individual spaces for safe one-to-one customized instruction, according to a release.

"We're very excited to be able to rejuvenate a challenging site and revitalize the gateway to Northfield," said Andy Poticha, principal at Design Construction Concepts, in the release. "This building is an ideal place where parents can walk to downtown Northfield, grab a coffee next door, or run errands while their kids receive individualized instruction inside."

Located in a former showroom, adjacent to the Starbucks at the north-east corner of Willow Road and Central Avenue, the 3,500-square-foot renovation will retain many of the existing eclectic ceiling features and wall treatments. The renovation will convert the space to meet the needs of Brightmont's unique one-to-one educational model.

"It's been a pleasure partnering with Design Construction Concepts on this renovation of eclectic space," said Andrew Koglin, president at OKW Architects. "Their solutions-oriented approach was a good cultural fit for this unique educational model. Andy Poticha and his team have been good partners for us and Brightmont as we developed design solutions that married the school's needs with the unusual existing space within their budget."

Design Construction Concepts is located at the Northbrook Business Center, 425 Huehl Road, Northbrook. Find out more at https://www.dcc-inc.net/.
