Project Update - March 2023
The 2022 Bond included funding for a Fine Arts expansion at Lake Belton Middle School, which will include a new band hall as well as storage and practice areas. The project also includes additional athletic locker room space, a training room addition and a new main gym entry foyer with restrooms and a concessions area.
Following the passage of the 2022 Bond, the district collaborated with stakeholders to identify program requirements, and the project is in the final stages of the design process.
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.
