The project at Johnson Middle School is expected to cost $18.56 million, while the McKinney Boyd project is estimated to be $3.25 million.
The specifics
The construction projects were both included in the district’s 2021 bond program.
Johnson Middle School had $23 million earmarked for its additions and renovations. Phase 1 of the project included relocating some of the school’s parking lots, rerouting a fire lane and relocating underground utilities, and was approved by the board in May. The first phase is estimated to cost $1.22 million.
Phase 2 of the project includes adding classrooms and performing arts space. The school will have a net gain of 16 classrooms with the addition of an office suite, according to the meeting presentation. A band hall will be added to the campus which will also house an office and workroom, ensemble rooms and practice rooms.
The board approved a guaranteed maximum price of $15.11 million for the second phase of the project with Corgan Architects. Additional costs and fees for the project bring the total project cost to $18.56 million, according to the agenda.
