Junior high, new school near completion
By MIKE CARRIGAN Staff Writer
Two of the school district's three construction projects funded with the multi-million dollar bond issue approved by voters in the last general election should be completed ahead of schedule, according to a district spokesman.
Don Lindeman, assistant superintendent for business and operations, said Monday that the addition to the junior high school and Numa Elementary School are scheduled to be completed by mid-July, a month earlier than expected. The additions to the new high school are on schedule and should be finished by the predicted August date, Lindeman added.
The $3 million addition to the junior high school by West Coast Construction was the first step in the multi-phased construction project and Lindeman said it is scheduled to be completed by July 15. Some local residents seem confused on the exact number of classrooms that will be available when the addition is completed. But, Lindeman said that the total number of classrooms after the addition (about 33) should be about the same as before the
addition because Alder .per, of
the building will be used for district-wide offices.
"It's almost a wash (even) in terms of numbers of classrooms," Lindeman said. "But, it was never
the district's intention to increase the numbers of rooms at the junior high school. The intention was to upgrade the junior high school and give the students larger and more comfortable classrooms. The old part of the building will be used now for district offices."
Lindeman said that he expects special services, the student registration center, federal programs, the school lunch program, adult education and PACE (gifted and talented program) to take up residence in the older building.
According to the plans designed by the architectural company of Hershenow and Klippenstein of Reno, the new addition will consist of a two-story building with the administrative entry off of Maine Street and the student entry off of Virginia Street.
The new building will house the administrative area, staff workroom and lounge and eight classrooms on the first floor. The second floor will consist of two computer rooms, six classrooms and the new library. The new building was to have had two more classrooms on the second floor but because of budget constraints, Lindeman said plans to build the additional rooms have been cancelled.
The project will also remodel the existing library in the science wing to produce three new science classrooms with storage. The new classrooms will be about 800 sa. ft each.
American General Contractors kicked off the high school's $2 million addition and renovation project about the same time as the junior high project got underway. And, Lindeman said there has been no change to the original August completion date.
The high school project includes a 10-classroom addition to the science building, renovation and an additional seven classrooms for the vocational wing.
Lindeman also said that the construction crew at the new elementary school advised him
that they are ready for permanent power and should have the last two buildings ready to turn over to the district on July 1, about one month ahead of schedule
The size of Numa Elementary School is estimated to be about 70,000 sq. ft.
