WHAT: Construction activities have continued behind temporary walls in the main part of the high school building and work on the northeast side of the building will be completed in the next few weeks.
- Phase 1B, 2A, 2B - Carpet has been installed and finishings have been installed to complete these phases
- Phase 2C - 22 additional classroom renovations have been completed and the rooms are now in use for the 18-19 school year. The BHS Clinic is complete (pictured) and the most of the Team Office space is now open. Some small parts of the new Team Offices will remain closed until large beams for Phase 3A can be installed. There is signage in the building to help students find their Team 2020, 2021, or 2022 Office. (Newly renovated classroom pictured at the top of the newsletter and below.)
- Phase 2D - The main entry - #1 - at BHS has reopened. The entry is slightly reconfigured for the addition of the temporary A hallway that takes student traffic from the renovated spaces to the Art, Performing Arts, Athletic, and Senior Academy spaces. **More details about an additional temporary hallway below**
- Phase 2E – The PE/Health space has been in use since since mid-April. The performing arts classroom space is also complete and the Brownsburg Band and Guard used this space for summer rehearsals. Study hall classes are also meeting in this room during open class periods this year.
- Phase 3A - (see timeline below) This phase will continue through the end of 2019. Since Spring Break, the BHS Auditorium has been closed. It will reopen in January 2020. School events have already been held in alternate locations like East and West Middle School and Connection Pointe Christian Church. As Phase 3A moves from the Auditorium into the original 1971 portion of the building, travel between the main building and the Senior Academy, athletic, and performing arts facilities will be significantly impacted. **More details about an additional temporary hallway below**
WHY: The core of the Brownsburg High School building has been relatively unchanged since it opened in 1971. With 13 additions over the last 46 years, the infrastructure of the building is in dire need of an upgrade. These upgrades will accommodate technology needs for teachers and students that weren't in place in 1971 and maintain a comfortable learning environment with updates to the aging HVAC system.
