Seismic Grant Projects

Hanby Middle School is the oldest school in the Central Point School District!

The 2003 bond allowed the district to expand the Hanby with the 2003 building, however many needs remained in the historic 1910 Building. Due to fire safety and accessibility issues, the 3rd floor of the historic building has not been utilized.

Thanks to careful planning and multiple funding sources including the 2019 bond, a state funded seismic rehabilitation grant, and federal funded Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER), the district has made substantial upgrades to allow full use of the 1910 Building.

• Complete seismic upgrade and remodel of the 1910 Building, including full utilization of the third floor and five additional classroom spaces for increased student capacity.
  • In addition, new energy efficient windows and locker upgrades have been installed in the 1910 Building.

Currently the 3^rd floor of the building is not fully-utilized due to fire and ADA ingress/egress issues. The district hopes to leverage the Seismic Rehabilitation Grant funds with bond funds to fully utilize these spaces.

The grant will shore up the historic building as follows:

• Provide blocking and nailing connections between exterior walls and floor and roof diaphragms.
• Add new shear walls on the inside face of some exterior unreinforced masonry walls.
• Provide new strapping and blocking lines between the exterior walls to complete cross ties.
• Add plywood sheathing to the underside of the floor framing and over the roof framing.
• Brace all storage racks, cabinets, and bookshelves to structure.
• Attach and brace mechanical equipment, emergency lighting, piping, ducting, and gas piping per current code.
• Exterior unreinforced masonry parapets will be braced back to the roof diaphragm
• The canopy at the entry will be braced laterally.

Grant Value: $2,500,000
