Budget Breakdown

The total bond amount of $21.7 million represents a comprehensive, turnkey cost that includes everything needed to ensure the new addition is fully prepared for student use. This encompasses current construction costs, as well as escalation to account for potential price increases by the time the project goes out to bid. It also includes soft costs such as permits, surveys, and professional fees; furniture, fixtures, and equipment like chairs, desks, and cafeteria tables; technology including servers, computers, security systems, and cameras; and a contingency fund to cover any unforeseen conditions or needs that may arise during the project.
