The Facility Planning and Construction Department provides input and assistance to the School Board and the Superintendent of Schools to construct and renovate schools, as well as long-range facility planning and real estate transactions.
The department advises and acts on matters related to real estate holdings for future or current building sites; as well as creative planning for the location, design, development, and functional programming of future school facilities. This includes academic and athletic facilities, support service facilities, joint-use shared facilities with the city, and site-based facilities to be used by the school populations as well as the community at-large.
The goal is to provide functional and attractive facilities that meet the long-term needs of students, staff, families, and citizens in the most economical and cost-effective way. We focus on developing safe, practical, attractive, and functional learning environments for all students that, maximize learning while utilizing energy conservation, environmental sensibility, and financial responsibility.
