Central High renovation plan presented ahead of bid
Summary
Officials presented GMB’s Central High School renovation design, which focuses on office, media, labs, arts and gym spaces; robotics practice remains offsite because higher roof height is out of scope.
GMB designers presented a package of renovations for Central High School that the district plans to put out for bid, Assistant Superintendent for Finance and Operations Julie Davis told the Curriculum Committee on Oct. 16, 2024. The proposal emphasizes a cohesive aesthetic and improved sight lines while targeting the main office, media center, science labs, art and shop spaces, and gym areas for renovation.
Davis said infrastructure updates will include reinstallation of clocks and public-address systems. She told the committee that "the district is still looking at a practice space for robotics teams as it requires a higher roof height that is not in the scope of the CHS building renovation." Member Kristen Fauson asked about dedicated space for dance, cheer and yoga; Davis said there is not a dedicated room but storage is available for related equipment and that a robotics space will be maintained at Northern Hills Middle School.
The presentation was positioned as a design package to be released for competitive bidding; committee members were shown areas of focus and the rationale for leaving certain uses (notably robotics practice requiring greater roof height) outside the current scope. The district did not provide a project cost estimate or bid schedule at the committee meeting; those details were not specified in the presentation.
