Feb. 4 Forum: Site Work Begins

January 15, 2020

Site work for the new high school will begin as early as late February. Students, neighbors, and visitors will start to see and hear activity on the school grounds. Join the AHS Building Committee and project partners to learn what to expect in the first 3 to 6 months of work. The forum will be held on February 4th from 7:00 – 8:30 p.m. at the Arlington High School Lowe Auditorium, with a snow date of February 5th.

This forum will be of particular interest to parents of children in grades 8-12 as well as neighbors in the surrounding area. Topics covered will include:

  • Site work, fencing, construction, and phasing plans
  • Field closures and changes to the existing site
  • Access changes for pedestrians/bikes/cars, parking
  • Noise and dust control mitigation
  • Questions and answers

Project Timeline at a Glance

The project is currently in the Design Development phase (summer 2019 – summer 2020) when all aspects of the design for the new school will be finalized. With site work starting after February vacation, building construction will begin in October. The first wing of the new building is expected to be open to students in January 2022, and the school fully constructed in 2024 (followed by one year of additional site work).
