Project Update - March 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 will continue in the design phase through Spring 2023. Construction activity is expected to begin by June 2023 with completion scheduled for fall 2024.

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.

Design team work is progressing quickly.  The project is being fast-tracked in order to allow the construction manager to begin ordering materials with long-lead times in the Spring of 2023 while final construction documents are scheduled to be complete by May 2023.  Initial construction activity at the school is currently scheduled to start at the end of May 2023, immediately following the end of the current school year.  The initial focus will be on demolition activities, utility relocations, and general site clearing in preparation for the building foundations.
