Central Point School District No. 6 is pleased to announce the groundbreaking of our new building at Jewett Elementary. The new 12,000 square foot building will consist of a gymnasium with a flexible multi-purpose space, a maker space/shop, a maker space/technology lab and restrooms. New concrete walkways and the original school’s covered walkway will be extended to an inviting vestibule at the new building. All spaces will receive HVAC, fire sprinklers, security cameras, and intercom. This addition to the original campus will be fenced to secure students playing and learning in and around the new building.

Project #1 Summary: New Building

The first project at Jewett Elementary School will be a 12,000 square foot building consisting of a gymnasium with a flexible multi-purpose space, a maker space/shop, a maker space/technology lab and restrooms. New concrete walkways and the original school’s covered walkway will be extended to an inviting vestibule at the new building. All spaces will receive HVAC, fire sprinklers, security cameras, and intercom. This addition to the original campus will be fenced to secure students playing and learning in and around the new building.

Bond Goals Addressed

• ADDRESS OVERCROWDING
• CREATE FLEXIBILE LEARNING SPACES

Project Cost: $6.5M

Project #2 Summary: Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing and Site Upgrades

While the new building is under construction, work will begin on upgrading the original buildings’ heating, ventilation and air condition (HVAC) systems, electrical systems, and plumbing. New HVAC systems will create a comfortable learning environment with state-of-the-art indoor air quality by using appropriate filters and code-mandated air changes. A new digital HVAC control system will efficiently “warm up” buildings to a desired temperature on cold morning prior to staff and students arriving, and will “turn down” the heat when it knows or senses the buildings are empty. These controls will create thermally comfortable spaces and allow district maintenance staff to control mechanical systems remotely if necessary.

The parking lot will be reconfigured to create safer student drop-off and pick-up, and storm drain issues will be addressed. School-wide security systems will be upgraded or installed to include new fencing around the core of the school buildings, security cameras, an intercom system, classroom clocks and fire alarm panels. New exterior and classroom door hardware will have already been installed under another project.
