Facility study flags $67M in MEP needs, CTE demand and multi‑million projects
Summary
A comprehensive facility study presented to Washington County supervisors identified about $67 million in mechanical, electrical and plumbing work at six schools, additional projects including turf and structural repairs, and persistent CTE center capacity shortfalls.
Superintendent Dr. Perrigan presented findings from a newly completed facility study that examined all 40 buildings in the school division for condition and remaining service life. He said the study documents deferred maintenance and produced planning‑level cost estimates for renovation and replacement work.
Key numbers cited: the five‑year capital improvement plan lists about $23,000,000 in planned improvements (the estimate excludes inflation); the study identified roughly $67,000,000 in MEP upgrades for six schools; multi‑use artificial turf was estimated at $7,400,000; and an Abingdon Elementary structural wall repair was estimated at $307,000. The superintendent emphasized that delaying projects risks higher costs later due to construction inflation.
Dr. Perrigan also highlighted persistent demand at the Washington County Career and Technical Education Center, which he said turns students away each year because of capacity limits. He proposed considering expansion of CTE facilities and noted the district owns acreage that could be used for a larger CTE campus.
