Avon details middle‑school atrium demolition, field and gym upgrades; project ~30% complete
Summary
District leaders reported plans for demolition to create a middle‑school atrium, abatement over February break, approved field and gym work, and considered stage rigging/lighting as possible alternates. The capital project budget totals $24,247,000 with about 30% complete and $964,159 remaining contingency.
Superintendent Ryan Pacatte updated the board on facilities work tied to the 2022 referendum. He said demolition of a district hallway to create a middle‑school atrium will begin when office staff can relocate and that the district hopes to schedule abatement work over February break. Field and gym upgrades were discussed: field work is approved and ideally will be completed before summer; gym work awaits final design prior to bidding.
The minutes list the overall project funding: $23,890,000 from the 2022 referendum plus $357,000 from a prior referendum for a total of $24,247,000. The project is reported about ~30% complete; the contingency budget is $1,215,715 with $251,556 in change orders noted (about 20.6% used) and $964,159 remaining. Dr. Pacatte said certain alternates—such as stage rigging and lighting—could be added as alternates, special transfers or by referendum if needed.
