June 2022 Update: Construction Update
May 2022 Update: Progress Update
Dear Berryhill community members,
I am so excited to announce our bond construction projects through 2022 which will provide critical school safety and building enhancements along with technology upgrades for our students and staff.
Thank you for supporting our 2020 bond proposal. Your support is a remarkable investment in ensuring a safe, nurturing learning environment that helps all of our students achieve and succeed.
The following is a tentative bond project schedule for Berryhill Public Schools. It is important to keep in mind that the planning for each of the large bond projects actually begins more than a year before actual construction. The planning phase includes programming, schematic design, design development, final construction documents, and permits. Completion of these projects require many tight timelines with much of the construction limited to the months of the year when students are not attending school. We look forward to providing updates on the status of our bond projects throughout the construction schedule. Keep in mind that this schedule could change some as we schedule our projects.
Our project team consisting of architect, constructions managers and school personnel reviewed several factors in developing the bond project schedule, including:
- Safety and security priorities
- Identifying buildings with largest-scale projects
- Maximizing on-site time of contractors
- Times when staff and students are not on campus
