Show Revised construction plan presented for jr. high addition A revised plan for construction of an addition at the Pleasant Grove High School was presented for consideration of members of the board of education at their Jan. 26 meeting. Dr. Harold Jacklin, District Manager of Physical Facilities and New Construction, said the plan eliminates the proposed greenhouse but includes construction of seven new classrooms, including two science rooms, a computer room, a type room and three regular classrooms. It also includes conversion of the heating system to gas. Jacklin said officials considered renovating some present classrooms to science rooms and building just "regular" classrooms, but it was found to be more cost effective to construct all new science rooms. "It would cost more in the long room to convert the existing rooms," Jacklin said. Cost of the construction is estimated at $860,000, rather than $770,000 as previously projected. Bids on the construction are to be opened Feb. 16, with Oct. 1 shown as the projected completion date. |
