South Construction Update
The roof is complete! A complete replacement of the HVAC system is
on schedule and should be operational by mid-October. All of the
lockers are installed, the lights are done and the security doors are
operational. The windows are still a work in process but the flooring is
complete. The LGI (Large Group Instruction) looks amazing even
though the seating is not in yet.
New Fieldhouse for North high athletics
The locker rooms are open and the North Varsity football team has moved in which houses
82 lockers, restrooms, showers and offices for coaches. The public restrooms for fans are
functional and the new entrance way for athletes and spectators which includes a ticket
booth looks fantastic. Dennis Reilly, Athletic Director at North High School, said that
“turn styles on the side gate and new fencing is the next step in the process. This way the
public can use the track during limited hours.” This facility is being funded by Qualified
School Construction Bond money, no general fund tax dollars paid for this facility. Signs
will be posted letting people know how the project was funded.
