The Kendall County Main Street Campus expansion project enhances the overall function and aesthetics of the campus while providing improved services and accessibility to residents. The completion of the new office building in Phase 1, set for June of this year for the 2024 elections, will serve county elections, county clerk, and county recorder services.

Phase 2 will include the renovation of the current 20,000 SF county office building, site improvements, the creation of a welcoming main entry lobby and stair addition on the north, employee entrance and stair addition on the south, and improved security measures. This design approach streamlines access and navigation for visitors and creates a cohesive and organized campus layout, providing safer and more efficient spaces for all. The decision to have a three-story open space as the new main entry addition is strategic in creating a welcoming and easily navigable environment for public accessibility. This design choice enhances the aesthetic appeal of the space and serves a functional purpose by providing clear wayfinding for visitors.

Cordogan Clark is providing Architecture, Engineering, and Construction services on this $8.75M project, projected to be complete in the Fall of 2025.
