On October 20, 2009, the Board appointed the architectural firm of Schenkel & Shultz Incorporated to provide design services. The renovation of existing facilities includes the addition of a new fire sprinkler system; replacement of the roof on areas not recently renovated; new ceilings and wall finishes; replacement of the heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) system with a new energy efficient system; group toilet room renovations; and miscellaneous plumbing, life safety, egress, and handicap accessibility modifications. Project completion is scheduled for January 2013.

Approval of the schematic design phase will allow the architect to proceed with design development documents.

The project is currently funded at $15,200,000. The estimate of probable cost is $15,191,633. This item is included in the District Capital Outlay: Certificates of Participation Series (CoPS) 2006 ($11,600,000) and Local Millage ($3,600,000).
