Board approves removal of aging buildings and construction of new classroom building at Ironwood Elementary
Summary
The board approved removing three end‑of‑life buildings totaling 5,628 sq ft and constructing a new 9,360 sq ft building with eight classrooms and two restrooms at Ironwood Elementary; administration said the removal is needed to facilitate on‑site construction.
Marana Unified School District’s facilities division asked the governing board to approve a formal reduction in recorded square footage for three aging buildings at Ironwood Elementary and an increase in square footage for a new classroom building.
Mr. Golagoski explained the three structures (buildings U 107, 1008 and 15) are each recorded at 1,876 square feet and had reached the end of their service life, prompting their removal to make room for a new building within the same footprint. The proposed new building is 9,360 square feet and includes eight classrooms and two restrooms.
A board member asked whether the district pays property taxes on the square footage; administration answered that it does not. The board moved, seconded and approved the reduction and the new building construction plans.
Next steps: facilities will proceed with demolition of the identified structures and construction planning for the 9,360 sq ft replacement building per the approved item.
