BHS Expansion Underway

Post date: Mar 29, 2014 2:40:23 PM

The end of March 2014 brought construction work back to the BHS campus as it begins to expand to serve 9th and 10th grade students by August of 2015.

Fencing went up to the east of the connecting link and earthwork and digging began to prepare the site for the installation of underground utilities for the new cafeteria/commons, new classrooms for 10-12th grade above the existing link, and a new 9th Grade Center wrapping around the Bruin Field House.

The old air conditioning room below the counseling offices in the main building will receive new equipment to serve the additions to the south. To accommodate the new equipment, a large hole had to be sawed through the thick north concrete wall. The left photo shows where the new hole was created, and the right shows the thick slabs of concrete which were removed.

Fencing also went up around the north end of the campus, where the science wing will be extended north with four additional science labs.
