Alvin H. Butz Inc. of Allentown has been awarded the
contract for renovations to a new high school for the Allentown School
District.
The new high school is a partnership between the school
district and Building 21, an organization that partners with communities and
school districts to design, open and operate new high schools.
Butz will take the lead on the $1.5 million project,
which will have two parts.
The first phase involves renovations to 35,000 square
feet of space in an existing building at 265 Lehigh St. It will include 12
classrooms and one laboratory, a cafeteria and kitchen, administrative offices
and a nurse’s office.
Work will be completed over three months during the
summer, with completion of phase one expected in August.
Work on phase two will occur in summer 2016.
The school will initially house 150 ninth-graders. The
district will gradually increase the building’s capacity to 600 students over a
four-year period.
