COMPLETED

• Replacement of Windows and HVAC Unit; Exterior Painting

In summer 2022, the final renovations at North Plains were completed: replacement of the existing single-paned windows with double-paned windows; and replacement of a rooftop HVAC unit. Both projects will increase the energy efficiency and comfort in the building. Minor stucco repairs also were made in the southwest corner of the building before painting of the building exterior.

• Renovations

Construction projects provided safety and seismic upgrades to the North Plains building in summer 2021. The portables were removed (going to the Peter Boscow site) and a new playground was constructed in their place.

• New Gym

A new gymnasium provides exclusive use for indoor PE, activities and school events. The facility is also available for recreational youth basketball and volleyball leagues. The gym was substantially completed in Jan. 2021

• Parent Dropoff/Parking Lot

In spring 2020, the staff parking lot and bus dropoff area was repaved and striped. A new parent dropoff and parking lot was completed in Sept. 2020 to enhance pedestrian and vehicle safety as well as to improve traffic queueing and efficiency.

• Roofing, Relocation of Portables

In summer 2018, North Plains received new roofing, improving the building environment. In addition, two portables were relocated to North Plains from Patterson and Reedville Elementary Schools. They provide North Plains with four additional classrooms, which will help to accommodate enrollment growth until the new elementary school is built in the Sunset Ridge development. The portables also will provide additional storage to the school.

• Flexible Furniture

North Plains students enjoyed new flexible furniture (FFE) when they returned to school for the 2018-19 school year. Research has shown that this furniture promotes engagement and learning.
