LATEST NEWS & INSIGHTS

Hampton, Lenzini and Renwick, Inc. (HLR) had an incredible time participating in the School District U-46 Explore event at NOW Arena in Hoffman Estates on September 25-26. We were thrilled to take part in this event, designed to give students the opportunity to explore various career paths and technical fields, including engineering, science, and surveying. Explore is an annual curriculum and career expo organized by School District U-46 in partnership with the Alignment Collaborative for Education . This event offers over 2,500 eighth graders from eight local middle schools a unique opportunity to explore various career paths and technical fields. The Alignment Collaborative, a local nonprofit, brings together community resources to support District U-46’s educational initiatives. The event kicked off with a Family Showcase on Wednesday, September 25, followed by a full day of exploration for students on Thursday, September 26. Prior to Explore, students used SchooLinks, a digital college and career planning system, to identify the career clusters that aligned with their interests and aptitudes. With this information, students worked with school counselors to choose which career pathways to explore at the event. HLR was proud to represent the Manufacturing, Engineering, Technology, and Trades pathway. Alongside 40+ local businesses, industries, government agencies, and nonprofits, we set up an interactive exhibit designed to give students a hands-on introduction to what we do. Our exhibit featured an augmented reality sandbox—a 3D, interactive tool that helps students understand concepts like mapping, topography, and watersheds. By shaping the sand in the box, students could see a real-time color-coded topographic map appear, and they could even simulate a rain event to see how water would flow based on the elevations they created. It was an engaging, visual way to teach important engineering concepts in a fun, accessible format. The HLR team truly enjoyed connecting with students, parents, and U-46 staff throughout the event. We’re excited to continue supporting Explore and other opportunities to inspire the next generation of engineers, scientists, and surveyors.

We are thrilled to announce that Michael Rolla III, son of Springfield Project Manager Michael Rolla, has been awarded this year's HLR Scholarship! Michael is currently a senior at Southern Illinois University Carbondale (SIUC), where he is pursuing a degree in civil engineering with a specialization in structural engineering. His academic journey has been marked by exceptional achievement, consistently earning him a place on the Dean's List.  Beyond his academic success, Michael is deeply committed to his community. He regularly volunteers and has gained valuable hands-on experience as an engineering intern. Balancing part-time work during the school year with full-time internships over the summer, Michael exemplifies dedication and hard work. Looking ahead, Michael plans to further his education by pursuing a master's degree in structural engineering at SIUC, solidifying his foundation in this critical field. Michael shared his thoughts prior to receiving the HLR Scholarship: "This scholarship would be an investment in my future, allowing me to, like HLR, continue to work hard, have fun, and give back. It will enable me to excel academically, enjoy my time, and make meaningful contributions to civil engineering and my community." Congratulations, Michael! We wish you continued success in all your future achievements!
