A drive along Midland Road shows the
dramatic progress being made to the new Midland Elementary School. The
community-approved design compliments houses and buildings near Old Poway Park. The
architecture for the school will be unique. Mature trees were preserved and provide a
link from the old and familiar campus to the new and modern school. |

The kitchen in the new multipurpose building and the new student lunch area are now operational. The new library and the new administration facility will be ready in early fall and the joint-use multipurpose room is scheduled to be completed in October.

| Completion of the new girls’ softball facility was affected by the rains earlier this year, but was complete in time for the spring game schedule. This new field allowed for the staging of construction operations and materials on the existing upper athletic fields. The construction management team planned the removal and replacement of $8 million in utility systems including electrical, water, storm drain, sewer, and communication networks. This was accomplished over the summer break. Upgrades and additions were completed on time and ready for the start of school. Demolition of existing classrooms made way for the new 80,000 sq. ft. building. This 22-classroom facility will be ready in June 2006. | |
