Elementary School this morning to kick off its General Obligation Bond construction project.  The project, which is slated to be completed in the summer of 2015, includes a replacement building and substantial renovations such as a new roof and flooring, complete HVAC system replacement, and electrical installations for several security and lighting components.

The GOB program provides a total project allocation of $7,014,981 and at its October meeting, the School Board commissioned the architectural firm of KVH as the architect of record. KVH is certified by the District as a Hispanic American, female-owned business and as a Small Business Enterprise. Additionally, KVH has committed to a minority sub-consultant participation goal of 10 percent.  Melrose Elementary originally opened its doors in the late 1940s, and over the years was expanded and received select building system upgrades.
