Smith Hafeli is proud to be featured in the Illinois School Board Journal for our perspective on K-12 construction across Illinois.

In the March/April 2026 issue, our EVP, Aaron R. Smith, shares insights on what it really takes to deliver successful school projects — from early board alignment to ex*****on in the field.

School construction isn’t just about building facilities. It’s about navigating complexity, protecting taxpayer dollars, and delivering environments that serve students for decades. That requires experience, accountability, and the ability to lead from both the boardroom and the jobsite.

Smith Hafeli continues to support school districts across Southern Illinois and beyond with a hands-on, solutions-driven approach to educational construction.

We’re proud to be part of the statewide conversation — and even more proud of the work we’re doing on the ground every day.

Celebrating 10 Years of Smith Hafeli

One of our favorite projects from the past decade was the renovation of Marion City Hall.

This project transformed a historic building in the heart of downtown Marion into a modern space for city government and public service. From the council chambers to the public service counters, every area was designed to serve the community for decades to come.

We’re proud to have played a role in preserving an important landmark while helping create a functional, welcoming space for the people of Marion.

As Smith Hafeli celebrates 10 years, we’ll be sharing some of our favorite projects that helped shape our journey.

More to come.
