The $26.2 million capital project at Hyde Park Central School District will address security and infrastructure and enhance STEAM programming through the creation of a new science pod.
Science Layouts
Chemistry, physics, earth science, and biology will each have their own unique layouts to support the curriculum of each subject. Classrooms will be equipped with a prep space, work room, and new lab furniture and casework.
General Classrooms
The existing science classrooms will be converted into general classrooms with new finishes and upgraded technology.
Pod Corridors
The existing corridors will receive cosmetic upgrades and incorporate color schemes that coordinate with the design of the lab and classroom space. Breakout spaces are spread throughout the corridors to encourage learning outside the classroom.
Project Scope
In 1976, a two-story, 44,000 square foot addition at Franklin Delano Roosevelt High School was constructed to house general classrooms, bathrooms, and lockers. The existing 1976 addition will be gut renovated to house a new science pod. At Haviland Middle School, five science classrooms will receive renovations, including the conversion of two general classrooms into science labs to achieve the district's STEAM programming goals.
Critical infrastructure improvements include the replacement of the 50-70 year old heating and ventilation systems at FDR High School, Haviland Middle School, and North Park Elementary School.
