On Oct. 25, the McKinney ISD board selected Cadence McShane Construction as the construction manager at risk for McKinney High School performance auditorium, auxiliary gymnasium, fine arts and other upgrade projects.
The additions and renovations are part of the 2016 bond program. Project bids were received in early October and based on qualifications and best value, district officials recommended McShane for the project.
The project includes a new 1,000-seat performing arts center, the renovation of the existing auditorium into an auxiliary gymnasium, a new black box theatre/classroom, a new choir suite, and renovations to the natatorium and athletic areas.
Work on the projects is scheduled to begin after the last day of the 2016-17 school year and is set to be completed prior to the first day of the 2017-18 school year.
