Things really get moving at our Carlsbad Unified campuses when the last student slings a backpack over his shoulder and heads to the beach, the last sweatshirt is retrieved from lost and found and the last teacher bids a fond farewell for the summer.
That's when the demolition teams, carpet layers, carpenters and asphalt trucks descend on the schools to fix things up for the students' return in September.
This summer there is a project underway at nearly every school. After months of careful preparation by the Prop P Management Team, site administrators, facilities, maintenance and operations, and purchasing, plans are implemented with precision…unless unexpected issues turn up when the dirt and concrete are turned over.
But our people are expert at finding solutions to the most challenging construction issues
Here is a glimpse into the Summer of 2015 construction plans at CUSD:
•
The establishment of a permanent campus for
Carlsbad Village Academy (CVA)
at Valley Street and Chestnut Avenue is well underway. Most of the asphalt is gone and the foundations for the new administration building and counseling building have been poured. We are on track to have the buildings ready for the start of school in September.
•At Carlsbad High School, the administration building improvements plans are in process, the Lancer Arena wrestling practice facility is being converted to the weight room and the field turf replacement is moving along and should be ready for football practice.
• Both Aviara Oaks and Valley Middle Schools are being recarpeted.
• Buena Vista Elementary School is undergoing campus modernization, including upgrades to the multipurpose room and kitchen, which is more than 50 years old. Trees and concrete are being removed, It will be beautiful when school opens!
• Calavera Hills is getting a kindergarten shade structure, fencing and improvements to improve accessibility.
• Hope Elementary is being recarpeted, and the traffic flow through the kitchen and serving area is being revamped.
• Jefferson Elementary is having its carpets replaced.
• Kelly Elementary is getting new asphalt in the play area and a new ramp to the swing set.
• Magnolia Elementary is receiving a new repurposed restroom.
• Pacific Rim Elementary School is being recarpeted and a new shade structure will be in place soon.
Much thanks to our talented construction teams who work make this all happen for our kids.
