Phase 1B, 2A, 2B & 2E, Volume 1 | May 8, 2017
Keep reading for lots of information about the next phases of work that will take place during summer recess and into the start of the next school year.

Brownsburg High School's renovation and expansion project is expected to be completed in June of 2020.  We will continue to send updates to families who have children in Brownsburg Schools in grades 6-12, to BCSC staff, and to anyone who has subscribed through our website.  These emails will be sent quarterly to provide information specific to each phase of the project, focusing on areas that impact students and their daily routines at Brownsburg High School. 

The work in Phase 1B continues through the end of 2017 with Phases 2A, 2B, 2E beginning at the start of summer recess.
Overview of Phases 1B, 2A, 2B, 2E
WHAT: Over the coming summer recess work will continue on the new heating, cooling, and electrical facility in the area of the current cafeteria (Phase 1B). Contractors will also move into three areas of the building:
  • Phase 2A - Contractors will replace carpets, paint walls and lockers, and generally refurbish classrooms in in the V & K Corridors on both first and second floors
  • Phase 2B - Classrooms around the Media Center Courtyard and “Turtle Pond” Courtyard (the turtles will be relocated) will be renovated, including replacement of cabinetry, ceilings, flooring, and, in some locations, reconfiguration of rooms. The courtyards will be filled in with new construction that includes new classrooms and locker bays.

  • Phase 2E – To make room for Phase 3A work that impacts the current wrestling room and fitness center, construction will start between Entry 15 and 16 on a new addition to house these functions.

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.

COMPLETION DATE FOR:
Phase 1B – December 2017
Phase 2A – July 2017
Phase 2B – Late 2017
Phase 2E – Spring Recess 2019
