WHAT:
Since the beginning of the school year, construction activities has continued behind temporary walls in the main part of the high school building. Work on the northeast side of the building for classroom space for physical education, health and performing arts is more visible and continues to progress.
- Phase 1B, 2A, 2B - Nearly completed.
- Phase 2E – Work on the classroom space for physical education, health and performing arts will continue into the spring of 2018. The PE/Health space is nearing completion and physical education classes will begin meeting in this new space sometime in the 4th quarter. (Work on performing arts space, above will continue through the second semester.)
- Phase 2C - Construction continues behind construction barriers within the building in parts of the current A, B, C, and G corridors. The BHS Clinic has been operating in a new location throughout the 3rd quarter and the front office configuration will continue to include the 3 underclass teams while Phase 2C continues through the end of the school year.
- Phase 3A - The extensive work in phase 3A will occur over the summer and the next school year. The first part of this phase includes the renovation of the BHS Auditorium. After Thursday's BHS Spring Choir Concert, the BHS Auditorium is closed and under construction through January 2020. School events will move to various locations in the district including East and West Middle School. Connection Pointe Christian Church will also host several Performing Arts events during this construction. Alternate plans are already in place.
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.
