What is the anticipated cost and how does that compare with other facility improvements made recently in District 211?
The total cost per school is anticipated to be in the range of $1.3 million. Included in that total would be the significant underground structure and drainage/water retention system that would remain intact for decades. Some have estimated that cost to be in the $500,000 range. The artificial surface and infill is estimated in the $400,000 range with the running track and other related costs comprising the balance of the $1.3 million cost per site. (Stadium Surface Cost Estimate) Recent music facility additions at Fremd and Conant High Schools cost approximately $2.7 million each. The Fremd High School music addition was necessary because of the growth in the music program and the limited classroom and practice facilities there. At Conant High School, the previous music area was not handicapped accessible, and the new location affords ready access to the auditorium area.
