Document Description
The District plans to reconfigure and modernize Sowers Middle School by removing all existing structures and building new classroom, administration, gymnasium, locker room buildings. Thirty-seven teaching spaces will be removed and replaced with thirty new teaching spaces, resulting in a net decrease in student capacity. The project includes the reconfiguration of the playfields, courts, shade structures, and solar arrays on the campus. Additionally, the District proposes reconfiguring the two existing parking lots and expanding the drop-off/pick-up aisle to enhance pedestrian safety and vehicular circulation.
