Bond steering committee recommends on‑site stick‑built construction for high‑school addition after modular option found costlier
Summary
Board reported the bond steering committee's consensus to proceed with traditional on‑site stick‑built construction for the high‑school addition after analysis showed hybrid modular construction would add roughly $500,000 and create logistical and height/transport constraints in the residential neighborhood.
Board members reported that the bond steering committee reviewed construction options and reached consensus to proceed with a traditional, on‑site stick‑built approach for the planned high‑school addition.
The committee evaluated a hybrid modular option intended to reduce on‑site disruption but found it would likely add at least $500,000 in cost and present logistical challenges moving large modules through the small residential neighborhood adjacent to the secondary campus. Committee members also cited prevailing wage legislation and limitations on transport height that could reduce flexibility in connecting floors between the addition and the main building. Based on that analysis, the committee recommended traditional construction to keep the project on its estimated timeline and budget.
