PROJECTS:
New Heating/Cooling System & New Controls
The existing heating/cooling systems are old and in poor condition. These will be replaced with new, high-efficiency units, which will provide a more comfortable environment and energy savings. New thermostats and other sensors will be installed and integrated with the District’s controls to optimize the performance of these modern systems.
Replace Northeast Windows
The leaky and inefficient exterior windows on the northeast side of the building will be replaced with double-pane, insulated and energy-efficient aluminum frame windows.
Roof Upgrade
A new roof will be installed, eliminating problematic leaks throughout the facility (except over gym and stage areas that already have newer roofs). The new, high-quality roof system will have a 22-30 year life-span, is energy-efficient and environmentally friendly.
Create New Secured Entry
Provide safety and security to staff and students by remodeling the main entrance. The new secured entry will have a vestibule to welcome visitors without requiring direct contact and includes fire doors on either side of the front office.
Install Fence Near Traffic Loop
Increase pedestrian safety by restricting access to the road and directing foot traffic along a highly visible crosswalk leading to the main entrance. This will be accomplished by adding a fence between the existing dirt parking lot and the traffic loop with a single opening at the crosswalk.
Pave Dirt Parking Lot
Pave the existing dirt parking lot, which will make it ADA compliant and address drainage issues.
Resurface and Repurpose Tennis Courts
The existing tennis courts will be resurfaced and repurposed for multi-sport use. There will be striping for basketball, tennis, pickle, four-square and other games.
Replace Domestic Hot Water Heaters
Replace old, inefficient electric DHW heaters with high efficiency natural gas condensing DHW heaters.
