CURRENT PROJECT STATUS:

Midland Elementary School, Westwood Elementary School,
Mt. Carmel High School, Poway High School


Midland Elementary School

Construction Start: Summer 2004
Estimated Completion: Fall/Winter 2005

Midland Elementary, the oldest school in the district, has been demolished and will soon be replaced with a new campus including three classroom buildings, an administration center, library, multi-purpose room, and playground areas.  Soil has been removed and prepared for the new two-story and single-story buildings. Construction teams are working on the extensive underground utilities and the new building foundations. The Midland students and staff started the 2004/2005 school year on time at the temporary campus hosted by Garden Road Elementary School.

      

Westwood Elementary School

Construction Start: Summer 2004
Estimated Completion:
Winter 2005/2006

Work on the underground utilities and the site for the new joint use multi-purpose room started on schedule in July 2004. Temporary classrooms are accommodating students and staff to allow a more efficient approach to construction. Classrooms and resource areas will be added to accommodate class size reduction and replace existing portable buildings. The library will be relocated and improvements made to the playground areas.

 

       


Mt. Carmel High School

Construction Start: Spring 2004
Estimated Completion: Fall/Winter 2006

Mt. Carmel's campus improvements include expanded science laboratories, music facility, library, and technology/vocational facilities.  Upgrades to utilities and supporting infrastructure on this 30-year old site will also be completed.  The project has been broken into four phases to minimize the impact of construction escalation costs.  The new eight-classroom addition was completed on schedule and ready for the start of the 2004/2005 school year.  Interior classroom renovations started in December 2004 and will move from building to building until the entire project is complete.

       



Poway High School

Construction Starts: Summer 2004
Estimated Completion: Summer 2007

Work on the girls' softball facility and outdoor basketball area nearing completion, ready for athletic activities in March 2005 as originally planned This new facility will accommodate the temporary loss of athletic field space resulting from the staging of construction material and equipment for the new two-story classroom facility that will start construction in April 2005. This two-story and single-story facility includes more than 85,000 sq. ft. of new classroom space. Planners and engineers are also preparing for the extensive work on underground water, sewer, and electrical systems that will start in June 2005.
