Project Update - August 2023
The 2022 Bond included funding for Career and Technical Education (CTE) and Fine Arts additions at Belton High School, upgrades for the existing CTE spaces, and other capital improvements and renovations.
Following the passage of the 2022 Bond, the district collaborated with stakeholders to identify program requirements. Architectural design began in the fall 2022 and was completed by O’Connell Robertson Architects in April 2023.
The projects includes -
Fine Arts Addition:
The building design includes a new band hall that will include ensemble, percussion and office spaces, as well as storage spaces for instruments, uniforms and color guard.
Career and Technical Education (CTE) Addition:
The building designs include a CTE Addition that includes classroom spaces for ROTC, AV, and Culinary Programs, including portrait/broadcasting/green studio spaces, and a kitchen and cafe.
Career and Technical Education (CTE) Renovation/Upgrades:
The designs for the existing CTE building renovations include upgrades to the construction shop and wood shop, as well as classrooms to be used for ag and vet tech programs.
August 2023 Update: Construction activity began May 24, 2023 under the direction of the district’s construction manager, Core Construction. Existing classroom portables have been relocated from the area planned for the new Band Hall addition. Demolition of the ROTC building is complete. Construction crews are currently focused on completing changes to the student pick-up driveway as well as relocation of existing underground utilities. Once these tasks are complete, preparation of building pads and structural concrete foundations at the building additions will begin.
