We’re sure you’ve noticed the construction activity around UCMS and UCHS lately! We’re excited to share some updates on our progress.
New Maintenance Building
Our new 4,000-square-foot maintenance facility is taking shape near the bus garage and middle school. The building will serve as a work and storage area as well as an intake center for large deliveries. This upgrade will help us keep our buildings and grounds in top condition, ensuring safe and well-maintained learning environments for staff, students, and the community.
The building envelope is nearly complete, and crews are working on mechanical, electrical, and plumbing rough-ins. Drywall installation begins this week, with concrete and paving to follow. Relocating the maintenance staff to this new facility will free up space in the trade school, where they are currently housed, to renovate the area for career and technical education (CTE).
Vocational Center Renovation
A major renovation of the UCHS vocational center will soon begin and will feature completely remodeled classrooms and labs for Agriculture, Engineering, Health Science, and a brand-new Building & Maintenance program. This program will include courses in carpentry, electrical wiring, plumbing, and HVAC. Preparatory work at the vocational center will begin after Fall Break. Therefore, vehicle access behind the trade school will be limited beginning at that point. During renovations, trade school classrooms have been temporarily moved to the lower level of UCHS.
Multipurpose Facility
Work has also begun on a new multipurpose building that will include a wrestling training area and a high-bay fieldhouse for multiple student groups. The new space will provide a dedicated training area, replacing the current wrestling practice room in the trade school. Concrete foundations are already being installed.
Tennis Courts
Two new tennis courts are also being built near the UCHS softball field and visitor football bleachers. The pads are complete and ready for paving. The new courts will allow the UCHS tennis team to practice and compete on campus for the first time.
We’ll continue to share updates throughout the project, and we’re so excited for new opportunities for our students! We know we’re building more than structures; we’re building a greater future! - Be Brave. Learn. Lead. Succeed!
