Southwest Addition and Renovation - Aerial View of Before and After

The addition and renovation of Southwest High School will begin the middle of March 2015.  The entire project is estimate to span 18 months.  The first step is to empty some areas that can be returned to classrooms rather quickly.

The example is the Media Center.  Currently located in the East building, the Media Center will be emptied by the first of March and relocated to a temporary area across from door 3 on the main floor (rooms 126-127).  By moving out early, the vacated area can be renovated into classrooms.  Sometime this fall that area will reopen as classrooms.  That will be a great advantage for space and students this fall.

The existing science classroom (room 27) will be renovated and enlarged to create two science classrooms on the lower level and a dance studio and music room on the first level.  Starting early allows for the renovation and earlier return to working classrooms.
