Facilities Plan November 2025 Update

________________________________________
"With the long stretch of mild weather we have enjoyed construction progress is slightly ahead of schedule at both the new Middle School and the new K2 Primary School. At the Middle School, you can see from Northfield Road that the walls of the gymnasium are nearly at full height.

Underground utilities and foundation walls are complete for the entire facility and we will begin pouring the slab on grade in the gymnasium in the next few weeks and we have every expectation to have that portion of the building roofed in before the winter weather starts.

At the K2 building, work on the underground stormwater detention system is complete, underground utilities are nearly complete, and foundation walls are nearly complete for the entire facility. Overall, the K2 building is about two weeks behind the Middle School, which is by design to maximize deployment efficiency for contractors who won bids on both projects. Both projects continue to be on schedule and on budget, and will open in time for the 2027-28 school year.

Design work for the new High School is getting more detailed as we leave the schematic design phase and embark on design development. Meetings with students and staff are happening weekly as our architects and engineers learn more about what is necessary for our new High School.

In a few weeks, work will begin on a temporary bus lane in front of the existing high school in anticipation of the start of construction after winter break. When students and staff return to school in January, they will occupy the central and southern portions of the high school so that the old board offices and the northern part of the high school can be demolished, which is necessary to make room for construction of the new high school. The new high school will open for the 2028-29 school year.
