Recommended Plan

The preliminary plan would:

• Enhance building safety and security.

• Address Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance issues.

• Update exterior building sections and replace windows, flooring, and doors (as needed).

• Upgrade plumbing, electrical, fire alarm, and bell systems.

• Address other needs identified in the 2020 Facility Study.

In addition, the plan would: (see above)

1. Build a single-story classroom addition on the east side of the building providing space for sixth-grade students (who are currently at the elementary school). This will address elementary school capacity issues and allow these students to participate in higher-level learning opportunities.

2. Build a two-story addition on the north side of the building with classrooms, science labs, and areas to support hands-on collaborative learning.

3. Renovate and modernize all existing classrooms (including tech. ed., art, family and consumer science, computer programming, and business education) and support areas (including the gyms, locker rooms, and stage).

4. Build a dedicated music addition with better acoustics and instrument storage.

5. Build a library media center with small group collaborative learning spaces.

6. Build a cafeteria and kitchen to improve serving efficiencies and seating capacity.

7. Add a new courtyard to introduce natural light into the center of the building.

8. Build a maintenance shop.

9. Relocate parking.
