Design and construction teams presented concept drawings and a three‑category approach to projects: safety and security, modernization and infrastructure. JDO consultants outlined campus solutions (loop roads to separate buses from parking, new secure entrances, office relocations, additional parking and circulation changes) that would reduce pedestrian–vehicle conflicts and allow reconfiguration of classrooms and services.
At the high school, presenters described a new secure west entrance, backfilling district office functions to create ADA restrooms and updated classroom space, upgraded locker rooms, replacement of telescoping bleachers and investment in HVAC and roof/window systems that are nearing their service life. The consultants said these interventions drive additional renovation work due to the “ripple effect” of moving administrative space.
Matt Miller of Hausman explained the cost model includes soft costs (design, furniture, fixtures, equipment and geotechnical investigation) and provided category totals and priority scores from the room rankings. Examples presented in the meeting (rounded as spoken): a $4.5M subtotal for three campus‑level items; bus barn expansion at about $1.1M; a high‑school safety/security package totaling just over $10.5M; high‑school infrastructure and façade/roof/HVAC items near $10.1M; elementary safety and security items about $4.03M; elementary modernization about $6.78M; and an overall program total the team gave as approximately $39M if every item were selected.
How priorities will be set: Committee members will re‑rank concepts in a follow‑up survey and provide narrative feedback; the consultants will then attach refined costings to prioritized options for Meeting 3.
