Hubble Middle School is located on Galusha Road, and is now closer to the students it serves. The new Hubble is one of the few schools to meet the LEED (leadership in energy and environmental design) qualifications. Some of the sustainable features are: the mechanical system is 20% more efficient than the standard systems; the landscaping is drought-resistant, with permeable asphalt that reduces water runoff and "bioswales" that filter the run-off before it enters the storm water system and a 5-acre drainage ditch with wetland plants to clean and soak up the water, a green roof that can be used as a classroom, a white "cool roof" which will reflect sunlight and be more a efficient source for air conditioning utilized, low-flow plumbing fixtures, enhanced lighting controls, which will utilize as much natural light as possible, a daylight harvesting system which uses sunlight instead of artificial light, preferred parking for the teachers with the most fuel-efficient vehicles, building material content is mostly recycled, a nature observatory in the center of the school, and environmental issue displays throughout the school. The gym and other classrooms are equipped with sound-absorbing holes in the wall so that the acoustics have been enhanced. Many classrooms have large windows or skylights, which lighten allow natural light. The orchestra and band rooms are equipped with lockers for all instruments and music. The room is almost double the size of the old Hubble facility. It was named for the astronomer Edwin Hubble, a Wheaton native and graduate of Wheaton Central High School. Hubble's mascot is a husky. Beth Sullivan is currently the principal at this school. Because the building is very old, a new Hubble was built in Warrenville, IL.
