Students who are present during construction will remain in current academic spaces until new ones are ready. The only impact will be ~4 months without auditorium access, during which alternative space (e.g. MSMS auditorium) will be available for use as needed. Traffic flows may change during various construction phases, but bus lanes and drop-off lanes will be maintained throughout. It is intended to perform renovation work in the gymnasiums during summer months and one gym will always be available during the school year.
The current project schedule contemplates a phased move-in for students in the Spring of 2029. The new academic wing will be fully completed for the start of school in the Fall of 2029 as per below.
Current 9th graders will be 12th graders
Current 8th graders will be 11th graders
Current 7th graders will be 10th graders
Current 6th graders will be 9th graders
The auditorium and gyms are structurally sound and are well-maintained. The wooden gym’s floor is relatively new, as it was replaced in 2020 after a leak caused by the then-45-year-old HVAC system flooded it with several inches of water. The floor in the rubber gym will be replaced. The gyms will be updated and have air conditioning installed.
The new academic spaces will enable delivery of 21st century curriculum. The science labs will get improved ventilation to clear chemical and other odors during lab work, movable tables to support hands-on lab work and collaboration, and a proper chemical disposal system. Many of the classrooms today don’t have windows; in the new building, all of them will. Sound proofing, lighting and better classroom orientation regarding shape and size benefit modern educational delivery methods.
“Maker space” will allow for hands-on technology exploration and cross-disciplinary studies where classes can break out and work together fostering a STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and Math) network of classes that support 21st century skills in all learners.
Life safety systems - fire suppression (sprinklers), improved exit paths, mass notification systems and modern fire alarm systems as well as lock-down features, and ventilation.
ADA compliance in multiple areas, including lockers, doors, ramps, sinks, classrooms, etc.
Other security features not to be described so as not to reveal vulnerabilities
The Center for Education is a renovation to a portion of the current building and will service students and the community. These programs include the Burlington Early Childhood Center, IT help center, Pathways Programs, Simonds Youth Academy, Robotics, the Science Center, the lower library, and tutor offices, all of which are used by students daily. A dedicated preschool space for the Early Childhood Development program saves significant funds by supporting in-district placements. Burlington Cable Access Television and Central Administration will remain where they are to be renovated and brought up to code. We analyzed multiple alternatives and found that keeping these spaces on campus is the most cost-effective and logistically feasible solution for students and staff.
