Progress continues on extensive renovations at Bowling Green High School, with the district’s superintendent anticipating that next month will mark about 12 months until completion.

Gary Fields offered an update to members of the district’s board of education during a meeting Monday.

“At our June meeting, we’ll have an extensive review” of the high school’s progress, Fields told the Daily News.

“That’s basically going to put us about 12 months out from a total takeover of the property.”

Through phase one renovations, the district is spending about $22.5 million to build a two-story classroom wing that will also include space for the high school’s medical arts academy, new band and choir rooms and science labs. The classroom wing, which totals about 98,000 square feet, surrounds the school’s natatorium and faces Rockingham Avenue.

A later renovation phase, contingent on available funding, will add more classroom space along with a two-story commons area, media center, a 700- to 800-seat auditorium, auxiliary gym and other spaces, according to the school district’s website. The plan is still to open the classroom wing by August 2020, Fields told the Daily News.

This week, workers are pouring the concrete foundation for a kitchen at the back of the school, Fields said, also adding that walls should be fully up at the school by mid-June.

Construction at the high school is requiring the district to alter its graduation plans when it comes to parking for the event, Fields said. He anticipated more information being shared with parents by the end of the week.

Despite all the construction, Fields said the district wanted to keep the ceremony at the high school, stressing the significance for graduates in gathering with their classmates one final time on the high school’s campus.

“I think you lose that special moment when you move off campus,” he said.
