West Noble reports plumbing repairs, new data room and band-area upgrades
Summary
District leaders described ongoing high-school plumbing work that required additional contingency spending, a new lockable data/tech room, and sound, lighting and acoustical upgrades in the band and cafeteria areas.
Superintendent (role: Superintendent) walked the board through photos from campus tours and described progress on several building projects, noting work on athletic fencing, a new front entrance and detailed interior renovations. "They are in the middle of tearing that up," she said of plumbing work in the high-school office, explaining the renovation was needed because newer low-flow toilets require a deeper drop than the previous plumbing provided.
She said the plumbing work increases project scope but remains within the project's contingency allowance and therefore does not change the overall top-line contract amount. The superintendent also pointed to a new lockable, temperature-controlled room for the district's data rack and described the band-area upgrades — new lights, sound booth and acoustical wall tiles — that staff trained on during the contractor's work.
Board members asked whether cafeteria flooring was included; the superintendent clarified the cafeteria received new acoustical ceiling tiles, painted drywall and sound treatment but not new flooring.
