Director of Facility Planning and Construction Richard Gates presented schematic designs of the natatorium to the Board at the September meeting. Design is scheduled to be completed in the fall with construction drawing beginning thereafter. The natatorium design phase is scheduled to be completed in the spring.
Design is nearing completion for Elementary #10 which is the school that will replace Aikin Elementary. Construction drawings are scheduled to begin during the fall semester. The design phase is on track to be completed early in 2016 with the beginning of construction planned for spring/summer 2016. Elementary #10 is scheduled to be complete during the summer of 2017 and open for students for the 2017-18 school-year.
Design is approximately 90 percent complete for the additions at Porter High School. Construction drawings will begin thereafter.
