Scope of Work

Improvements at Andersen are proposed within a 5-Year plan. Work will be completed as funding is approved for each phase.

The CDD has designated this school to become a community middle school with a dual language magnet program. The facility has a 5-year plan for renovations.

Phase 1 work was completed in Summer 2021 and included updates to lighting in the stairwells, some new furniture, additional lockers, and reworking existing restrooms to be student single-user restrooms. This helped us to make the school more functional for the middle school students.

Phase 2 work included the creation of 8 science labs in existing classrooms, daylighting upgrades throughout the building, mechanical and finishes updates, the start of work on a centralized full-prep kitchen, and additional classroom furniture.

Phase 3 work will include the completion of the full-preparation kitchen space, creation of a central cafeteria/auditorium space adjacent to the new kitchen, and restroom updates.

Additional goals for our 5-year capital plan include improvements to technology spaces and general work required for maintenance and operation of the building. These future projects are not funded at this time.

A virtual community meeting was held on June 1, 2021 to provide information about the project, including the planning and design process and timeline. View the presentation here: Andersen Community Engagement Presentation.

We invited interested members of the community to be involved in the project as part of our Stakeholder Committee.
