Rec center expansion

Schaumburg's Meineke Recreation Center will be expanded slightly to accommodate additional restroom stalls. The project will add two new stalls each for the boys' and girls' restrooms in preschool area of the center at 220 E. Weathersfield Way. Though seemingly a small project, the change will involve adding nine feet to the building's footprint on the property and thus required Schaumburg village approval, which was granted Tuesday. Parks Executive Director Jean Schlinkmann said construction is expected to be done by fall and have no impact on summer programs.
