District details sweeping summer facilities work: HVAC, roofs, kitchen upgrades and new track
Summary
Operations staff reported this summer’s work across Lexington 2 included HVAC control upgrades (DDC controls), roofing, epoxy flooring pilots, new kitchen freezers/serving lines, HVAC unit replacements, paving of Bulldog Boulevard and track replacement at BC High School.
Operations and maintenance leaders briefed the board on an extensive slate of summer projects across the district: HVAC control and unit replacements, roofing work at multiple schools, epoxy-flooring pilots and LVT installations, food-service improvements (new freezers, ovens and serving lines), concrete and ramp work for accessibility, and pavement and track repairs.
Maintenance leaders said DDC controls for HVAC were completed at several schools and that roofing projects at Busby and Springdale were closed out. Food-service upgrades included a 25-by-12 cooler and freezer at Wood’s kitchen and other equipment to support daily meal production (Wood serves roughly 1,600 meal units per day). The district is trialing low-maintenance floor systems in select rooms and intends to monitor durability before scaling. Bulldog Boulevard pavement repairs and BC High School track base work were completed with a track surface to be installed at the end of August.
Board members praised in-house crews, asked staff to consider more tree plantings when landscaping islands are concreted, and requested a pilot room report for the new flooring before wider adoption. Staff agreed to return with follow-up metrics and vendor recommendations.
