This $110M bond program is comprised of 54 projects, over a million square feet of renovations, additions, and new construction. The scope of work managed by J.M. Cope includes:

Building Renovations included renovations to the oldest campus buildings at ten elementary schools, including expanding undersized cafeterias and conversion of existing space to flexible learning “studios”; architectural renovations to original buildings at the five oldest secondary schools; upgrade to selected elementary media centers to “learning commons”; modernizations in support of school choice programs.

New Construction consisted of classroom additions to selected elementary schools; the new Cherry Park Elementary School; and the new Montessori School at Ebenezer Avenue Elementary School.

Safety and Energy Efficiency consisted of upgrades to district-wide campus security, video surveillance, access control and fire alarm systems; security fencing at strategic campus locations; public address, intercom, emergency radio, and other communication upgrades; environmental restorations to sewer and storm-water systems; energy efficiency retrofits to reduce annual costs.

Repairs and Replacements consisted of critical building components including exterior walls, plumbing, and HVAC systems at selected schools; upgrades to building automation systems, furnishings, and other equipment at all campuses.

Buses and Grounds included repairs and upgrades at selected sites for enhanced access and safety: parking lots, driveways, sidewalks, playgrounds, and athletic fields.
