Williston Central School (WCS) as we know it was built in five stages in the years 1949, 1954, 1959, 1966, and 1991. Over the years there has been limited replacement of any original materials or building systems, such as the electrical and HVAC systems. This means that much of the building still has original windows, poorly insulated walls and roofing, and worn-out HVAC units and controls. While some of these systems continue to function, they are well past their usable life, are not energy efficient, and do not supply sufficient fresh air ventilation to rooms adequately. In the case of materials, many, such as flooring and ceilings, are battered, discolored, or stained. The school also contains known hazardous materials that were installed in 1949 through 1966, over 50 years ago. Finally, given the piece meal approach to assembling what is currently WCS, there is not a proper school-wide sprinkler system in place, but rather older approaches to handling and managing fire-related emergencies.
