Engineering and construction firm Wight & Company recently presented the final draft of its Kane County Facilities Master Plan to the Kane County Board Committee of the Whole.
According to the final draft of a new facilities plan, Kane County could be consolidating all of its core government functions at the current Kane County Judicial Center near St. Charles over the next decade and beyond. Long term, Kane County should consider consolidating its main buildings onto a central campus and create satellite offices in Aurora and Elgin, an engineering firm recently recommended.
This centralized campus, which was in the plan’s long-term or 10-plus years category, would bring together the currently separate Kane County campuses for law enforcement, governance and health in a move that Dwyer said would cut down on costs and improve the efficiency of county functions. The Elgin satellite is proposed to be larger than the Aurora site at roughly 23,000 square feet, also in either a new building or a purchased and renovated building. Dwyer did not suggest a location for that satellite facility.To create that centralized campus, the draft plan proposes the construction of four new buildings and the expansion of two more at the current Kane County Judicial Center campus over the next decade or more.
A 160,000- to 200,000-square-foot expansion of the current Judicial Center was proposed for the medium term. That expansion would include six to 10 new courtrooms and consolidate services currently offered in the Kane County Branch Court at 530 S. Randall Road in St. Charles. Dwyer acknowledged that many of these projects are long-term solutions to problems that exist now, so he also proposed a number of projects to fix those issues in the short term.
