Abstract	At the original Hubble Middle School, neither the views (a congested Roosevelt Road and glimpses of downtown Wheaton) nor the century-old facility that offered them was very inspiring. Built at the start of the 20th century, the 250,000-square-foot building was converted from Wheaton Central High School to Hubble Middle School in the early 1980s. The age, size, and design of the facility led to a host of obstacles. Inefficiencies surfaced in student transportation, educational programs, and energy expenditures. A decade of discussions about solving these issues culminated in a planning study, which revealed that building a new facility would be a much more budget- and student-centered solution than renovating the existing one. Big old Hubble Middle School was just too big and too old. This article describes the reincarnation of Hubble Middle School. (ERIC).
