Morton Grove, Illinois — June 5, 2026 — Lamp Incorporated joined Golf School District 67 school leadership, board members, state and local officials, students, and community members to celebrate the groundbreaking of the Hynes Elementary School additions and renovations project.

Lamp Incorporated is the construction manager working alongside Golf School District 67 and the project team to deliver a facility that supports evolving educational programming and enhances the overall school experience.

“We are grateful for the opportunity to work with Golf School District 67 and honored to be part of the team bringing this vision to life,” said Ian C. Lamp, President, Lamp Incorporated. “It was especially meaningful to celebrate alongside the students whose daily experiences will be directly impacted by these improvements.”

Construction will begin soon, with phased work planned to minimize disruption to ongoing school operations.
