THE PROJECT

1. Construct New Early Childhood/Daycare Facility

The new Early Childhood/Daycare Facility will expand preschool programming, create space for a community operated daycare facility, provide before and after school care programs, and add space for an infant room and toddler room. Additionally, the new facility will have the efficiency to provide early childhood ESCI services.

2. Construct New Pre-K Playground

Per state regulations, a pre-K playground must be separate from the playground for older children. The new playground will be for pre-K students only.

3. Add Fire Sprinkling to Existing Building and New Construction

Any addition to the existing building, now or in the future, will require code updates. These code updates will apply not only to the new space, but also to the existing building. Fire sprinklers are one of the code updates included in the project scope and will be installed in the new addition and existing building.

4. Replace and Upgrade Electrical Power Supply to Building

Construction of any addition to the building, now or in the future, will require an increase in the electricity supplied to the main building and the physical plant. A larger power line and transformer are needed and will replace the current electrical supply systems. The planned replacement and upgrades will meet future electricity power needs of the existing building, planned building additions, and significant additions that may happen in the future.

5. Replace and Upgrade Electrical Switch Panels, Breaker Panels and Main Distribution Wiring

See #2. Similar to the power supply equipment upgrades, a new electrical switch gear, distribution panel will be required for any addition. The existing fused panelboards are original to the building and have outlived their 70-year lifespan.

6.  Replace, Upgrade, & Unify Fire Alarm System

See #2 and #3. Similar to #2 and #3, upgrades are needed to meet fire codes in the existing building as well as any new additions.

7. Main Entrance and Office Expansion and Renovation

The main entrance and office renovation will create a safe, secure front entrance for students, staff, and teachers that also provides a vestibule for visually screening each visitor to the school. The renovation will also add a visually pleasing and welcoming entrance for the community.

8. New Activities Entrance and Connection between Vo-Ag Building and Main Building

The new activities entrance will be ADA accessible, provide greater security before, during, and after activities, and serve as a shelter during inclement weather. The space will also feature a dedicated display area for trophies and awards.

9. Concessions Area in the Activities Hallway

The dedicated concessions area in the Activities Hallway creates a secure space for equipment and food in a permanent location.

10. Replace / Upgrade Bleachers in the Main Gym

Upgraded bleachers provide increased seating capacity, enhanced viewing angles, and improve the overall experience for patrons. Additionally, new bleachers can be retracted when not in use, creating additional space in the gym for practice and other activities.

11. HVAC and Air Conditioning in the Main Gym

Installing updated HVAC and air conditioning systems in the main gym will create a safer, more comfortable environment for athletes, coaches, and patrons. It will also increase the overall amount of time the facility can be used during the year.

12. Construct a Four-Classroom Elementary Addition

The addition of four new elementary classrooms will provide the space needed to improve teaching strategies and handle increased enrollment. Access to the school playgrounds will also be improved.

13. Remodel a Rear Access to the Theater Stage

Remodeling the rear access to the theater stage will provide an exit and improve fire safety while also making it easier to load and unload equipment and materials into the theater.

14. Construct a New First-Floor Weight Room

A first-floor weight room will provide ADA accessible training facilities while creating additional space for weight training activities. This space may also become accessible to community users through the use of a secure key-card system.

15. Construct New Boys and Girls Locker Rooms

New locker rooms will provide direct access to the gym for players and coaches while eliminating traffic congestion for patrons during athletic events.

16. Construct a New Injury Treatment and Physical Therapy Facility

A new Injury Treatment and Physical Training Facility will provide dedicated space for working with injured athletes. It also will allow for the secure storage of materials and equipment.
