Old Building | Qvstrong

$73,000,000

A renovation of the existing building would have significant, detrimental impact on current students, potentially across all age groups
- Existing students would have to vacate the High School for at least 3 years likely into 26 portable trailers spread out across the athletic facilities and existing parking lots. This would mean no on-campus athletic events, no student drivers and extremely limited parking resulting in off-site parking with shuttles for staff and visitors.
- Even if you assume nothing goes wrong with the incredibily complicated renovation, approximately 900 kids in our community will spend nearly all or a significant portion of their high school experience in trailers on the athletic fields and parking lot while the rest of the campus is turned in to a construction zone.

UNACCEPTABLE

There are significant geotechnical and site limits with the current location of the high school.
- Exhaustive studies have been done over several years which show that the location is in a floodplain, deep foundations and retaining walls would be needed, and groundwater flooding issues would be present.

UNACCEPTABLE

Limited classroom space - no room to grow!
Lack of a competitive gym space and outdated athletic facilities
Accessibility issues would persist
Lack of Parking would still be a major issue
Traffic issues in mornings/afternoons creating unsafe conditions would be unchanged
Traffic issues for school events would be unchanged
