Grandview Heights Schools will host the first of three scheduled Building Design Community Meetings on Monday, February 11, 2019, at 7 p.m. in the John Glenn Community Center at Edison Intermediate & Larson Middle School, 1240 Oakland Avenue. The same meeting and presentation will also available on Tuesday morning, February 12, at 9 a.m. at the same location. Attendees will learn more about the project overview and design process and the projected timelines.
With the passage of Issue 6, Grandview Heights Schools has created a webpage to keep our community updated on the progress of our Facilities Planning Process. Right now, we’ve entered into the design phase where community members, staff, families, and students will help us with the design of our new and updated school buildings.
In December, the Board of Education passed resolutions authorizing the school district to enter into contract negotiations with the architects and construction firms that will design and renovate Grandview Heights High School, build a new Edison Intermediate & Larson Middle School, and make safety and accessibility updates to Stevenson Elementary.
Moody Nolan, a local architectural firm, will be teaming up with Perkins+Will, a nationally recognized firm specializing in educational facilities, to design the buildings. Elford Construction and Corna Kokosing will oversee the construction and renovation of our schools. We look forward to our new partnerships and the work ahead as we begin to make much needed safety, security, and ADA upgrades and improvements to our learning spaces.
As we enter into the important design and construction phases of this process, we want you to continue to “Join the Conversation.” Please attend the community meetings and visit this website to stay informed on the progress and any future meetings regarding the design and construction of the school buildings. We will also be sending out newsletters, mailings, and emails about the project to keep our community updated. If you have any questions, please feel free to email [email protected]. Thank you for your continued support of our schools and students.
