The Jamesville-DeWitt Central School District partnered with Ashley-McGraw Architects to identify needs across all school buildings and grounds. On Tuesday, Dec. 17, Jamesville-DeWitt voters approved the $34.5 million capital project with no additional taxpayer increase.
The capital project will:
-
- Enhance safety and security.
- Elevate athletic and physical education spaces.
- Meet elementary and UPK playground guidelines.
- Improve aging non-instructional areas.
- Alleviate parking and exterior circulation issues.
- Replace or update facility HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and infrastructure for accessibility, health, and security.
The design process will begin in Jan. 2025. Once the design phase is completed, the plans must be submitted to the New York State Education Department for review and approval. To expedite the overall completion of the project, it will be split into two phases. Phasing is a common strategy for accelerating large construction projects.
Phase 1
The first phase will include the J-D High School fields, auditorium toilet rooms, and work at Tecumseh Elementary School with estimated completion in Dec. 2026.
Phase 2
All remaining scope items will be completed in the second phase with final completion expected in Dec. 2027.
