Board of Trustees approves contract for construction of elementary school number 10

The New Caney ISD Board of Trustees awarded a construction contract to Drymalla Construction Company at its March 2016 regular meeting for the construction of an elementary school located at the site of Aikin Elementary School. Asbestos remediation, a process required under the law prior to building demolition, has been completed.

NCISD Director of Facility Planning and Construction Richard Gates reported to the Board that the field house at White Oak Middle School is approximately 65% complete. The project is on time and scheduled to be complete this summer.

Also, the design phase for the aquatic center is complete and bids for construction proposals are out and will be due in May. Laura Sachtleben of Stantec presented to the Board on the design features of the facility. The aquatic center is currently designed to feature a 25-yard competition pool, spectator seating for 400 people, swim locker rooms, and offices. The pool will feature 15 total lanes to support both current and future high school swim programs at the same time. Design of the facility is subject to modifications per the outcome of the bid process.
