March/April 2019 - Phase 3A Volume 9 | April 3, 2019
Brownsburg High School's renovation and expansion project is expected to be completed in June of 2020. This message goes to families who have children in Brownsburg Schools in grades 8-12 in 2018-2019, to BCSC staff, and to anyone who has subscribed through our website. These emails are sent quarterly to provide information specific to each phase of the project, focusing on areas that impact students and their daily routines at BHS.

The current phase of construction, Phase 3A, continues with the Team Offices - now much more accessible after Spring Break (photo of progress below). Much of the work happening behind construction barriers still isn't visible to those visiting BHS. The view from the west side of the building (above) shows the progress of the new west entrance, cafeteria, auditorium, and 53 new and renovated classrooms and science lab that will be completed in the remaining phases. The artists' renderings in the bottom photo show the new BHS west entrance when the project is complete in the summer of 2020. (The bus is not an actual BCSC bus.)

Overview of Phases 1B, 2A, 2B, 2C, 2D, 2E & 3A
WHAT: Construction activities have continued behind temporary walls in the main part of the high school building through the first three quarters of the school year. A temporary wall just inside the main entrance has been removed over Spring Break to give greater access to the Team areas. Contractors are finishing up the work this week (pictured).

  • Phase 1B, 2A, 2B, 2C, 2D, 2E - These phases are effectively complete with the opening of the Team 2020 Office when students return from Spring Break.
  • Phase 3A - (see timeline below) This phase will continue through the end of 2019. Since Spring Break 2018, the BHS auditorium has been closed. It will reopen in January 2020.

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.

Phase 2A – Effectively complete
Phase 2B – Effectively complete
