The USD 211 Board of Education heard a presentation by the architects of SJCF and Hutton Construction. The board viewed the newest drawings proposed by the architects. Recent changes to the plans include moving the gym at Eisenhower Elementary to the north to help alleviate possible drainage issues. These new plans tie the new addition into the original building much better than before.
Hutton Construction also visited with the Board of Education about some scheduling scenarios for the project. It is hoped that the schedule for the project can be shortened which will allow us to begin using the new facilities as soon as possible.
The architects will return to visit with the board of education in October to provide the final drawings and the first initial cost estimates. The Board then gave their approval for SJCF and Hutton to continue on to the next phase of the project.
We will soon be providing drawings to give you some idea of what the project will look like when it is finished.
