Project Status
UPDATE:
Concrete foundations and structural steel are ongoing for the addition. Some roof replacement on the existing building is done, boilers have been replaced and a new switchgear has been installed. The football field and track have been replaced, and the tennis courts were resurfaced. Work on the new competition softball field is ongoing.
The whole project at Arlington High School includes an addition with new classrooms, a new library, a new band hall and more, and it will help provide the space needed for the future fine arts/dual language high school academy. The project also includes renovations for the entire building’s mechanical, engineering and plumbing systems.
