To the flag of United States of America and to the three Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. And we have one person, uh, signed up for public comment, Ann, and as always, three minutes. Thank you. Um, I was actually hoping that the, um, students accepted your invite to come back to another board meeting, um, because most of what I have to say is what, um, they were talking about. Uh, they wanted to walk out of class, um,
for an ice out protest. Um, which I just wonder if they have, especially the one that was in the political, um, field, just doing something, studying political things. Um, it seems to me that they didn't know both sides of the issue. Um, 'cause they, you know, the ICE has had its problems, but it's also gotten a lot of, you know, they were concerned, you know, two people were killed by ice. But they don't, don't take into consideration, um, the,
the thousands of people that were killed by people who, who were here illegally, which ICE wants to remove from this country or the girls that were raped, or the children that were trafficked. Trafficked. Um, so especially for the girl that was studying politics, that she didn't have both sides of the story, I think is, um, not wise. And, you know, for her class, uh, who's teaching that class that they only get one side of the, of the subject, um,
or the 3000 kids that were found by ICE agents that were missing, they were just missing. You know, don't those people who wanted ice out care about that? It seems to me that that's a very important thing that ICE is doing and they want ice out. Um, so that, that's basically what, what I wondered. I was talking to a teacher who graduated from Perry Meridian High, or not Perry Meridian High School, Perry High School, and, um, talking some political things
and she didn't even know who Mao was. Not not, she's not been outta school, um, that long. But don't, don't they know about communism and Mao, Mao is so much associated with communism and she did not know who he was. She goes, who's mal that, that's poor, that's poor teaching. So I think, um, maybe that needs to be addressed with the faculty. That's all I got. Okay. We'll move on to the project
and facilities updates. Dr. Spray? Yes, good evening. We have, um, so several of our partners here, um, this evening on our, uh, both our architectural side and our construction side as we, um, discuss, um, where we are with the construction projects around Perry Township. So we're gonna get an overview of what's included in the phase one of the projects for both, um, Southport High School and Perry Meridian High School, um, Southport High School. We just, um, received, um, bids on phase one and they're going through a vetting process at this point in
time, um, Perry. And they're gonna go through the timeline and I'm doing a very poor job of it. And then Perry will follow after spring break with bidding, but then also talk a little bit about what's included and what we're being talked about in the design development phase of phase two at both schools in between phase one and phase two. Some really exciting things kind of joking. Um, but it's a, that, that back into the house, electrical service and that kind of stuff that's, um, super important. Um, and pretty expensive, um, but not as exciting and
and visual as some of the other things. So they'll talk about that. And then also, um, Skillman, um, corporation and Brad Skillman iss here with us tonight, um, to talk about Holder Field and kind of where we are in that process as that project comes to, um, completion this spring. So at this point in time, I'm gonna, um, turn the, um, podium over to Colin. Colin's gonna introduce his team and then begin talking about, um, Perry Meridian High School to start with. Uh, good evening everyone. Um, and thank you for having us here tonight. Um, my name is Colin Liu. I'm with Lance Associate Architecture Firm, and along with my colleagues, Brian Zeki Zeki
and Eric Lowes, I apologize. Fine. It's The story of my life. So I'll be presenting Perry Meridian High School and after that Brian will take over and then explain things for South Port and then Skillman is gonna take over after that. So we have partnered with, uh, Perry Township schools, US Skillman, J-O-L-C-E-S and design 27 on this project. And for this one, you're looking at the site plan. So the new additions of the building we built on the south side of the school.
And if you see on the bottom right corner, that's where it's showing the north arrow is, is facing up. Along with that, we are demoing couple, uh, softball and baseball field, and then we are relocating some of the pole vault, jump along, jump shot, put and discus. And in here you're seeing the floor plan. So, um, as you can see, the purple is the new field house with four basketball court and then four walking lane. Uh, there will be a volleyball and couple, um, ceiling mounted storage space. And to the left side you see the weight
room, that's an orange. And then above there in blue, that would be the new wrestling room and some support space attached to it. And then for phase two, oh, uh, if you have any question, feel free to stop me anytime. So for phase two, uh, perian, we're doing mostly, uh, interior renovations. And as you see, uh, they're all scattered around the building. Um, and since we're in designing and there are things changing, so we are not try to go into depth, in depth about it. And for second floor, we have some classroom renovation.
We're taking some of the classroom and try to meet, try to make them meet the code. So currently we have, uh, 10 classroom and one large LGI space. If you, if you, I'm just gonna interject just real quick on this space, um, if you remember, those are the classrooms that currently are double stacked is where we have to go through one classroom to get to the other on the backside. Yeah. And that currently is not meeting the code. 'cause you can't leave from ex uh, exiting from one classroom to the other. One has to exit through the hallway and get it out. Those are just for, those are the special ed classrooms?
They're they're not, No, they're not currently special education classrooms. No, I'm trying to see. So as you on the, I'm trying to see Where I Am. The first page on the first floor, so the life skills, which is kind of on the middle left Yes. Of the document in pink. And then on you go to the, to the right side of the building, the sensory and sip areas, and then the other special ed, those are the, um, special education classroom areas that are being renovated, um, to, to meet our, our current needs. So they are currently there. Okay. They are not currently there in all cases.
What you're saying is that's where, that is currently the special ed? Currently? No, I think, I think they're currently on the opposite end of the building on the north end of the building. The, the rooms renovated are current sped rooms Upstairs in the blue. Correct? My apologies. Yes, yes, yes. So they're bringing, coming down to the pink on the first floor, Dr. Spray, you are also correct. They're special education rooms all around that building. So they are also downstairs and yes, they're also upstairs. Uh, thank you. So those, those high need programs, that would be coming down to the first floor. So, but the current rooms
on the first floor are being renovated? Yes, that is correct. Okay. Yes. Got it. Everything on the Perry side is, is in a, in a renovation, it's not New Build South four is new build. Correct. Got it. For phase clear as mud. Got it. Thank you. I just wanna make sure. Sorry, I, it's, I think it's vital to these programs that they get the renovation that they need. And so I'm just trying to clarify so that I understand. Thank you. But that is where they had to walk through The rooms too. Oh, no worries. Yeah. All right.
Uh, and then next will be the exciting, um, rendering. So this will be the front of the field house additions, and on the left side, the field house is made a precast wall, and then that's where you enter from there. And then this is the view from the tracks, um, looking toward the new additions. And this is the back of the new additions looking from the west side. So on that you can back up one slide. So that would be looking into the entrance and immediately to the right would be the new weight room, correct? Yes, correct. Say that again. I'm sorry. This Is on, this is on, this is on the
west side of the building. Yep. So the field house, it's on the east side of the building. Yes. And then, which is taller space. And then for the weight room you see here at the back here, which is the lower building. Oh, got it, got it. Okay. Thank you. Will we be encouraging traffic in that area? No, not at the back. We'll have fence and stuff to enclose the space. Thank you. And then, uh, we got some interior off the Fieldhouse. So the space will have a to ceiling. So you see all the basketball goal, everything is, uh, ceiling mounted retractable and in their motor too, along with the divider
between the spa, the court, so that the students can have different court to play without interfere with other, and Yeah, maybe this is for you. Um, you know, um, I spend a lot of time in gyms for volleyball. So are there going to be volleyball nets that are extended from the ceiling or are there poles? Like are there places program Wise, the, um, athletic directors determined that they did not want them in, um, coming from the ceiling because apparently those are not as durable Correct. As the ones that they set into the floor.
So that's what we're programming to have in the field house is equipment that would've to come outta storage and they would set 'em up from there. Um, at that point in time, still utilizing volleyball in the main gym and the auxiliary gym, and then, uh, have setting this for programming as well. Perfect, thank you. And then would be the main entrance coming from that entrance looking down. So you have a couple storefront looking into the space, and then you're gonna have on the right side, that's some small seating space. And this is on the top rendering. That is the weight room. And then on the bottom that is the wrestling.
All right, I'm gonna hand it over to Brian, Sir. Good evening, y everyone. Hope you're doing well. Thanks for having us at, uh, the meeting tonight. So phase one for Southport. Um, got a lot of activity, a lot of site construction to get ready for the building. So looking at the slide north is up to the top of the screen. So, uh, the area in blue is the addition. We'll get to that in a second. Uh, so we're gonna have to do some site demolition first. Uh, we're going to remove parking. We're gonna add parking back in the area. In yellow is an alternate that was put in
through the bid process as Dr. Spray noted. We're, we're skillman vetting that. We'll see if that alternate can fit into the budget. Uh, big picture wise, we're going to add about, we're gonna remove parking. We're going to net about 10 parking spaces in the area in gray. If the alternate is accepted, it'll be about another 70 spots added to the site to the south of the parking lot. Can everybody hear me okay? I'm never used to a microphone. I feel like Bob Barker, but I don't see the prices, right. Um, sorry, there's a reference there. I just dated myself. I apologize. Uh, to the south of the new parking lot area will have stormwater detention,
and then we'll have space, as you can see on the drawing for a multitude of configurations for sports fields. So soccer, football, lacrosse can be accommodated in that area. The stormwater detention, that basin will be dry when there is a rain event, there will be water and eventually it'll percolated and drain itself away. Uh, the rest of the site will remain undisturbed for phase one. Any questions on site improvements for phase one? All right, I'm gonna, this is an overall, I'm gonna go to the next slide just to give everybody a bearing, but, uh, green is the field house, orange is the weight room, the cyan is the wrestling.
And then I'll get into the rest of the details on the next slide. Okay. So the student activity center is the same as Colin mentioned for Perry. There'll be four, four courts with a four lane track, a walking track. There'll be an entrance on the east end of the addition. There'll be a new addition, a new entrance on the south end. Is there a laser on this? It doesn't really work. It doesn't really work on the screen. I'm gonna come up and point because I wanna make sure everybody has their Vari. Uh, there is a new south entrance here that will be, can be used for sports, uh, sports, but Will be primarily focused on supporting the auditorium
because of the unique geo geometry of the southwest corner of the addition. And there's some grade level changes. We've created an auditorium lobby to better accommodate when those theatrical or musical performances occur at the high school, as well as providing a route on out of the backside of the south end of the historic field house. So from an operation standpoint, if there was a function for a sporting event in the, the student activity center, primarily that'd be through the east entrance. And you work your way around to this vestibule area Here to enter Into the field house.
Moving to screen left, the area in orange is the weight room that will replace the existing weight room on the east, I'm sorry, west side of the historic field house. To the north of that we have support space for laundry, roof access, and a new set of public restrooms. Uh, we've had an interesting design process. There is, as I think everybody's aware, there is a, A vault within this footprint here that has feeds some electrical Work that Dr. Spray mentioned. Um, from a logistics standpoint
and from a cost standpoint there, that vault remains active, will remain part of the building. The storage room that is sitting on top of it will be removed, and so we'll have public circulation going left to right on the slide to come and wrap down into the auditorium. Let me back up a step. So there is an existing staircase to the vault that is on the west end of it right now that has a lid. That vault access stair goes away and we've replaced it with a new stair that is up, Up towards the northeast Corner of the wrestling room.
I should take the microphone with he shouldn't I, uh, We have, uh, so to the south of the vault there is three new wrestling or room for three wrestling mats, excuse me, as well as girl and boy locker room that supports that is in direct support of the wrestling program storage room. In between, uh, with coach's office, once we get into a light gray, that is again the auditorium lobby working through and connecting back into the mus, the fine arts, performing arts, excuse me, wing to the south. We maintain the connections on the south end
of the field house and we have, we've, uh, because of the level changes in the building, there are steps and ramps as noted on the drawing. Any questions? All Right. Can I have one? I'm sorry. No problem. You're fine. Where, where, how can I note steps and ramps for my non architectural mind? Can we zoom in? Probably. So if you want to, awesome. Okay. Thank you Matt. Yep. So I'm here. The mouse is working. There we go. So there from the parking lot,
you'll be level, you will walk into the auditorium, it'll be level, if you need to go to the fine arts wing, you'll be steps down. If you need to move something big, as we went through the discussion process, we'll have to take the long way around the auditorium, the existing auditorium. And then there is another ramp. I'm trying to work, make technology work here, here we go. There is an additional ramp that ramps up That square. Yeah, so this, this, this. I'm trying to get my finger to go here. Here we go. Right here. Oh yeah. Ramp there. And then two additional steps that Thank you Jane.
Yeah. Yeah. Is that, no, that's level, that's level. Once we get up this ramp, it's level all. Got it. Okay. And that is because For whatever reason, there are multiple first floors at Southport High School and a second and third and a fourth, first floor. So this area is currently, the entrance to the auditorium is Correct. So that's Where we're at. Okay. So where the word storage is at is the current traffic circle. Rough, approximately. So that will get demo demolished, new floor, slab poured new area.
We do have on the board. And we'll get in the slide deck a couple, uh, rendering of what that space will look like at the end of the day. Can you Show roughly where the current exterior doors are for the auditorium? So the existing doors are these doors, doctor, spray, sorry, I'm point, I'm, These right here are the existing exterior doors for the auditorium. Correct. And so we're pushing out about another 40, 45 feet to the east to create this space and give us room the transition with the site conditions. Lemme go back a slide. Yeah, there's a, yeah. Maybe be interesting.
I'm just not working the technology today. There you go. We'll get it back there. So on the site plan, Oh, I can't work that thing e either. If it helps you at all Feel Better. I'm usually pretty spot on with technology today, but it's not cooperating. So because of the geometry of the existing site and grades and and such to overcome and provide parking, we've had to push out this entrance here to make all,
all the geometry and the floor levels quote unquote go. 'cause at the end of the day, we were trying to minimize the length of ramp, how many ramps, because that just adds cost to the project. So at the end of the day, this was the best result we could come up with after many, uh, iterations of it. Okay. Now that I, you do your thing. Okay. Put it back real quick. Thank you. You're welcome. Alright, any other questions on phase one? All right. Jumping the phase two big picture, the parking lot will be completed in phase one with or without the alternate. So the areas in blue are the areas that we are looking at developing as,
as Colin mentioned in dd we are improving, we are proposing to improve the site access at the existing primary entrance, main entrance and entrance number one into the high school by going with a new drive left to right on the screen using the same curb cut exit as it is right now. Um, we will have to move the Red Rock that is outside out on site right now. We will move it back after construction is done. So That might cause problems Not trying to cause problems.
They're trying to find solutions here. So, big picture on phase two, it is a combination of new construction and I'll say improvements in the lower level of the field house. So let me start with the field house portion first. So a lot of this, the spaces that are existing in the field house need improvement. The weight room is obviously becoming part of phase one. So first things first is we're going to recapture the weight room. Right now we are still working through the details,
but this will become, uh, potentially health classrooms with a deca slash spirit shop on the orange. And then all the purple areas are improvements either to the physical education classrooms and then reconfiguring up on the, uh, east end drawing, right is new VARs, a new girls' varsity locker room and a boys' varsity locker room. And then at the bottom of the screen, what, what is the weight room right now? What was the pool mini, mini decades ago? It's the wrestling room. Right now. It's wrestling room. Right now we are going to reconfigure that wrestling room
into a coach's office space trainer room, a conference room for the coaches and or, um, recruiter college recruit to have a place to land for conversation. And then grabbing, since we are losing storage up on the first floor, where over the vault we're adding, capturing space in the lower, lower level for additional storage. Any, any questions before I go into some more of the new construction side of the project? Did you mention that the new addition, you'll be able to access the Fieldhouse
House? That is that, uh, you're a step ahead of me, but Yes. Okay. So the area in gr so the area in pink, pink, purple and blue, pink, purple, blue and green on the screen would be all new construction. And what we're trying to accomplish, let me start from screen left to right. And this remains a work in progress, is to provide a connection at door. I'm gonna get this wrong door three, I think that's right. Oh, I just, So part of our improvements on phase two in the classroom addition in the addition is to provide new sped rooms for total, um, with a, what I would call a jack
and Jill restroom so that when facilities are needed for students, they are readily accessible. And then providing a sensory room and a life skills room. The intent of the life skill room is to be set up more like a small apartment so they can work on those essential life skills. And then we start transitioning to the fax and the culinary arts lab. And we do have a second connection to the existing building that will require some reconfiguration. We're working through and we're dividing up another classroom down the corridor. We have a total of four fax classrooms, storage,
and then a culinary arts lab. And that is an extension of the CTE program. We are working to develop that, that culinary arts lab looks like. Um, but we expect great interest in it 'cause that is the strongest from what we under been unformed by Jane. That is the strongest program that's, uh, increasing enrollment. And then last, a, a component to the culinary arts that we're looking to define here is some kind of concession support, coffee shop, some kind of function that activates that corner because the green area
and green, the gathering and lobby will be the primary entrance for students moving forward. So we're creating a double, we're proposing a double height space. It will, new construction will be up against the existing construction of the Fieldhouse. So you, we are creating a brand new entrance into the Fieldhouse from what we have now. Um, if you look at, excuse me, if you look at where the doors are at, you'll recall that there's a coach's office in the middle that we are, we are removing that from the scope or from the building site to allow us to
better provide a security checkpoint at the vestibule. And then just a place to allow for ticketing and queuing and potentially food purchase when you host a basketball sectional or any major activity. So that's the, that's the first floor. Any questions? Let me zoom back out. Any questions or concerns on the first floor? Do we currently have an elevator there? No, That, so that yellow p elevator's new. Yeah, so that's, Go ahead. That, That is, um, a, a feature that's, uh, we would need an elevator for the second floor building of the new addition. But that location of it also provides access
to the top level of the field house. So it's gonna be a multi-stop elevator. You go up to the second floor of the new addition and then on up to the top floor of the, um, field house. Thanks, Dr. Spring. Alright, on this second floor, phase two, uh, there is no proposed work in the bowl of the field house. So this is, we're gonna stack, the addition will be stacked first floor on top of second floor. We'll provide a connection to the rest of the building, two spots. As Dr. Spray mentioned, there will be the elevator multi-stop yellow, our egress stairs, which will be needed.
So upstairs and the orange will be, um, the business department and business math, I'll say it that way. So accounting, those kind of, those kind of skill sets need to be worked on. As it stands right now, we have one unassigned room in purple based on warehouse, the building stacked and laid out. So that's something that we're working through and we're proposing because the existing art room gets, um, dissected to allow, uh, the connection, new connection to new art rooms that would stack over at this point, the culinary arts program. So those rooms get a little bit better, uh,
advantage a bigger room. We're working through those details as well. But providing access to Northern Light, which is optimal for, uh, two, 2D and 3D artwork. And then, as I mentioned, double height space on the gather, what we're calling the gathering lobby. So depending on how this develops, there could be an opportunity to provide a sight line from the upper bowl, the historic field house, into that lobby. If that, that's desired, we can talk about that, uh, in terms of the elevator that allows that elevator to be seen and used when there's a function
in the historic fieldhouse. I'll pause there for a second. Any questions Be before we go on? Just a, a couple reminders of kind of the phase we're in with construction. So this is, we're in design development, correct? Phase two, sorry. Phase two is design development. Phase one is construction documents as you mentioned. So Skillman is vetting the, the numbers that came in last Thursday. We will report back as soon as we're ready to do that Phase two design development. So we're about a month out from delivering design development to Skillman for some cost estimating. So this is a really good time to get in front of you to, uh,
hear your feedback, appreciate your feedback on what you see today between Perry Meridian and Southport. Yeah. And with that too, as we continue to have these conversations after design development, we get that cost estimate similar in nature as when we got to that point, we had to scale a couple things back a little bit, do some different things with engineering. HVAC will probably be in the same structure, um, when we, we go forward to. The other thing I wanted to mention is some of those spaces on the lower level of, um, the field house. Kirby took me back into some of those spaces and, um, if you'd like to look into some of those
and see some real historic, um, plumbing mm-hmm. And historic, um, building structures, you're, you're, I'd be happy to to take you in there. Um, one neat things that the really historic, um, wrestling locker room, um, which is kind of a hallway ish with no exit on the other end and a couple lockers in it. So, um, just kind of an idea of, kind of in your mind, the before and the after and of, with regards to what we're, we're, we're putting together for, for our students, The, the space, what do I wanna call it?
Are we creating another, um, outdoor space in between classrooms at Southport High School. Okay. A courtyard. Yes. Is it accessible or is it just, uh, a way to let natural light come into those one rooms? It's gonna have to be accessible in order to be maintained. We've talked about some uses, however, the classrooms that are existing that have the exterior windows are obviously gonna stay. So it's not gonna be real usable space because whatever's happening out there will be distracting to the classrooms all around. So, but we'll have to maintain it. But they still have natural light coming Correct too.
They have natural light. That's great. That is correct. Okay. I'm gonna go ahead and present. These are on the boards as well, or some of the boards. So phase one here is an A of Southport. We'll get, we'll probably have column, well, I, I can, I'll call back, come back up and review Perry with you. So we're looking basically northwest. If we are, we are a bird. So at the lower image is the new field house, uh, precast, as Colin mentioned for parameter, we are trying our best to match the same materials across the board with different color palette.
Uh, some different, uh, reveals in the precast panel just to give a little bit of distinguishing feature between the two high schools. And then I'm gonna come up, bring the microphone with me. Uh, All right. So the field house has, on the east elevation where it says Southport High School, there is a high clear, what we call a high clear story window. So that window will allow Eastern light in and let any daylight on in really throughout the day to supplement the electrical lighting in the building. As we come back this way, we've created with the, uh, circulation to provide an access point
with a canopy in red here, so that if you have someone who has, uh, mobility issues, if they're coming for a concert event at the auditorium, they have a drop off point and cover to get from the door, the car door to the entry door. And then because of, again, the grades just calling to attention, uh, we've had to rework some of the site, uh, with I believe the journalism classroom there. We have to provide an egress pass. So you'll see a sta a site staircase and ramp there to take care of exiting that, build that,
exiting that room in the event of an emergency. And to Dr. Spray at a high level, uh, his comment about the electrical package and then some of the other, maybe the, the items we don't, the items we see either underground or below. Lemme try that again. My brain is fading on at this hour, uh, the electrical site underground and through the building when this work is phased out, we're working on simplifying the electrical transformers, uh, at Southport and providing more stable power into the building to make sure we're fu as future-proof as we can for
whenever the next improvements need to occur on campus. All right, so then here is a view for the south elevation. So this is, I'm gonna get this before this, I'm done with my presentation today. Okay. So where I've zoomed in that is this corner where the canopy comes. I'm gonna do it this way where the canopy protrudes out. This is the corner of the pool. So everything from this point to screen left is new construction. So we have a canopy with the cardinal with the Southport red.
We're proposing a the south, uh, cardinal logo brick. And then it transitions to precast to provide the canopy. We're, we are working to a direct through the, through our design efforts to everybody's entering this door. The doors you see on the field house are for egress emergency only. So those should not be propped open. We'll see how that, see who follows the rules. Uh, The precast will be painted. So we have three colors, all, uh, with the red accenting, the two neutral browns. I'm gonna go to the next slide maybe.
So this is looking from the parking lot. So what you're looking at from screen left to screen right is the new canopy that gets you entrance into the auditorium. There are windows in the wrestling room, there are windows into the weight room, the brown doors, our egress doors, those will be kept closed. The doors are solid. And then from a serviceability standpoint, delivery standpoint, there is a door into the weight room. So if equipment needs to be replaced, repaired, that can be done. I should mention there's also, because, uh, there is a service
overhead door on the west elevation of the field house. So if something needs to be replaced, renewed, it can be done with relative ease. Any questions or concerns? All right, I'm gonna jump to phase two. And these drawings are a work in progress. So where we're at, we are trying to enhance the entry arrival sequence into this TOK field house. So what you'll see is the red metal panel that's on phase one is being carried over to phase two. Um, the unique challenge design challenge for us is melding the rest of the building
and making sure we establish that entry point. So the area in red is that double height space that was in the, the area that was shaded green on your plan. If you'll need, if I need to go back, let me know. And then the area that has the windows and the window pattern are, is the two story classroom wing. And then, as you can see at the screen, right, is the existing original or the existing entrance into the high school. So this is looking more or less east. This is the new drive where the car is parked. This is the far west end of the addition.
Joining up with the existing building, we are looking at a pallet of materials of brick punched windows. Uh, either an accent brick or limestone with some potentially some metal panel at the top to, to try to tie the different, uh, architectural expressions that have occurred as the high schools expanded over the years. And then this is phase, this is also phase two, looking more or less due west. So this is the new entry seek. This is this, uh, weapons detection entry point. This would be the main entry for students
and for field house activities, uh, based on how the site plan is developing. The existing digital sign is in the wrong place, place at the wrong time. So we'll have to, uh, relocate the sign. That's what that represents here at the screen. Right? And then providing a welcoming entry point with the cardinal logo. Uh, lots are red here. That's open for discussion. But again, a double height space with the cardinal logo down low. Okay, I'm gonna jump back to phase one here on you. So this is what we're work,
this is what's in the documentation for phase one, for the auditorium lobby. So where you're, where this image, the view is taken is, um, I believe there's a tree there, there's a parking lot and then the pavers. So all that goes away and we create this space. So the exist, the doors that you see are the existing exterior doors, new door, new hardware on those door locations. We've worked to help direct guest and and family to the performing arts center. But we've also worked to distinguish the existing entrances
to the field house by providing this surround that cleverly says field house above the doors. And then working to soften the area a little bit. We did bring some wood element from the ceiling down the wall with a light feature that can be used as a place of, uh, destination. And making sure, you know, if you're going between wrestling on Saturday morning to fine arts Saturday evening, you can find your child along the way. And then lastly, on the, on the far, uh, the background, you can see the ramp and the steps. Those are needed as we talked about earlier,
to circulate from one level to the next. And then those doors where it says field house, the doors below, those are the existing doors. Those are the existing back side of the field house. Those are the existing openings. Uh, those doors are 1955 vintage Dr. Spray. So we're gonna replace those with new, dang it. They've served their life very well. You think that's cost, um, effective? Yeah, We talked to Victor about that and he's like, yeah, let's go ahead and replace him. And then, uh, I think this is the last image on Southport. So this is a look at the field house.
You're looking more or less south southeast. So, um, you can see the clear story, what that natural light brings into the space again to, uh, the, the comment about volleyball, those will be inserts in the floor. We'll have one continuous surface across the floor. You can see multi-tone color on it. We will be set up so that you can run. If basketball when basketball's needed to be, uh, functioning, it can happen. We will have curtains between each floor or each basketball court or volleyball court. However it might be set up, up again, just a walking track,
four lanes all the way around Those curtains. Justing like the north, south of the divide Out, They're just dividing east west. And that same would, same can be said for Perry Meridian as well. And then a couple additional renderings. Uh, the upper left is what we're look proposing for or what has been documented and proposed for the weight room. So there is for failed to mention this earlier on in my presentation, we do have windows or sight lines from the weight room into the field house, the, the student activity center, excuse me. And you can see the windows at the far end
of the perspective that those are the exterior windows. And then, uh, wrestling, we have, as you can see, the three mats lighting up above. We do have scoreboards and then to the screen right of the image. Those are the doors into the locker rooms and some su support and storage spaces. Okay, any other questions? What are the sizes of those rooms? The weight room and the wrestling Room? Uh, ballpark, dimensionally off the top of my head, I'm a little rusty, but the weight room is about
7,000 square feet. Um, and then the wrestling room is I believe 6,000 square feet. Give a minute, I can. Why, why skillman iss presenting. I can go dig up those numbers exactly for you. So are these, um, renderings, I guess for like the multipurpose space, are they showing things that um, the school specifically asked for? Like for example, like the first thing I notice is Perry has basketball goals going north, south and east, west, south for doesn't,
They'll have the same, it's just not showing up on The drawing. Good eagle eye, we miss the basketball hoops. Well, I don't want anybody to you, you, you know. Yeah, we like got, we We've been very cognizant of, of that Element. Thank you for calling that to attention. But Eight rooms are the same size. The wrestling rooms are the same size. The field houses are the same size. They're, they're outfitted pretty much identical. They're gonna sit a little bit different on the different, um, pieces and that sort of thing. Obviously with the, the, um, entranceway or the lobby area for the auditorium just 'cause a abuts the lobby auditorium.
And then also the fact we had to get more space in there in order to make a handicap accessible for how the ramps were set in as well. Yeah. Perfect. Thank you very much. So Perry Perry's perspective, that is correct. That will be the same basketball. The goals that you see in this image for Perry will be the same at Southport. Thank you for calling to attention. I just know somebody's gonna ask me that question As people, as everyone should ask questions. Okay. What was the reasoning for putting those goals There? There was a request just to have those goals in case three throw free throw practice
needed to occur during gym class. If my recollection is, is with me tonight, um, there wasn't a desire to run cross court run if a game were to be function, be east to west at Southport, not north to south, Those are retractable. Yeah. So all those hoops, everything that you see, the, the divider curtain, the hoops all can be retracted up. So they're out of the way for if there's a bigger high or building wide function, the field house could, accomp could accommodate that function. Alright. Alright, Mr. Skillman.
Iss going to, um, go with, um, Skillman Construction's gonna talk a little bit more about the master schedule as well as kind of where we are with, um, holder Field Householder Field Holder field. Yeah, good evening. Uh, just as a quick Overview, um, wanna talk about schedule master schedules for both projects, uh, next to dues and then wrap up with some pretty pictures of Holder Field and an update for that project. So just as a quick reminder for Southport, here's the, the phasing plan phases one, two,
and three for Southport High School as, as well as Perry Meridian for, uh, those three phases. Uh, specifically right now on phase one for, uh, projects at South for high school, we took bids on Thursday. I had a public bid opening. Um, we're evaluating those bids now, but I can say, uh, we had excellent bidder participation, which is critical for, for hitting our budgets. So we had over, uh, four bids, uh, per bid event per bid category.
So we had 66 companies that submitted bids and things are looking good. So we're gonna, we're gonna come back to you on March 9th, uh, to get a guaranteed maximum price Proposal approved at the March 9th board meeting. Likewise for the infrastructure, uh, looking to get bid documents pulled together March 5th. And at Para Meridian High School. Uh, we're currently scheduled to have a hundred percent bid documents delivered to, to Gilman's office on March 9th. Uh, just a, a kind of a reminder and update overall as far as our project budget.
Southport High School at 75.8 million at Para Meridian at 59.3 million construction. You add together all the other related project soft costs and just a reminder, uh, grand project, total budget of $175 million. Uh, where we are right now, again, for each of these phases, we're keeping everybody up to date on where are we on hitting our budgets, right? So, uh, just as a reminder for phase one, uh, total budget that the, that the board, uh,
and we were given direction on, uh, total budget for phase one of 56 million. Uh, our estimates right now around 52.4, and looking ahead to what that would look like as a a, a guaranteed maximum price for that first phase one, we're tracking about $2.3 million under budget thus far. So we will continue to track at each of those phases and report back to the board where are we against our approved budget. So, good news. Um, any questions on schedule
or budget before do a quick update on where we are for Holder Field. So we have been hung up before on permits, and it looks like to me from, if I'm reading this correctly, we've already started permitting maybe on both. How is that going? We love Mary County. I can't answer that question as much as I would like to, if I could answer that question. We wouldn't have problems with permitting, but it is a, it is a high priority for us and we continue to aggressively track
that as best as we can. Everything will follow drainage. Drainage is gonna take the longest and the first to get. And so if that goes well or as well as expected, everything else will click. If drainage gets hung up, it's gonna impact the, the, the scope of the, of the calendar of the project. And when, when do we kind of like, what is our, oh gosh, we hope to know, like I'm looking at Southport. So like We, We like April, like do we think We, we have plugged in our schedule a worst case scenario. Okay. So we have plugged that into
our schedule knowing what is our worst case scenario and working toward bettering that worst case scenario. So we've built that into the schedule, knowing, knowing the difficulties of working with the city of Indianapolis on drainage. Perfect. Thank you. You're very Welcome. If I had any ends, I would try to help, but None. We, we, Are you anticipating any kind of supply chain issues with materials or It, it, our biggest struggle right now as a, as an industry has really been upon around HVAC on mechanical equipment. Um, we, we have that plugged into the schedule.
That's why we've also had that infrastructure package. So when we talk about the electrical rooms and we talk about some of the bones of these buildings, that's why we did a separate package just for the infrastructure so we could time that in with our additions and renovations to make sure things like new switchgear wouldn't be an issue for us. Thank you. Mm-hmm. Okay. If there are any other questions, we'll talk about some, uh, some good looking pictures and some, some activities. Um, some progress for holder field.
Um, some, some items that are complete as far as field improvement. Uh, the varsity softball, turf, uh, fencing, baseball drainage and stone is in place for the var varsity field. Uh, the JV outfield irrigation and first seating is down. And that's important because we want to get three seasons on that before it really, really takes grand stands and press boxes. Uh, dugouts batting cages and the sports field lighting. Uh, in addition, uh, you'll see in the pictures working on the new concession building, uh, the canopy structures are in place.
We're continuing to do interior finishes, uh, electrical lighting, the HVAC equipment, and as weather's permitted, uh, have made good progress on the concrete plaza and sidewalks as far as some, some pictures to show that here's a, a view north of the varsity softball field and you can see how progress is being made there. Uh, with a view from the northeast. This is the varsity baseball and, and softball complex. As you can see, we're, we're ready for, uh, material,
we're ready for that turf to be in place. As a matter of fact, that showed up, um, late last week and we just need a little bit of a warmer weather break to start putting that down. But that material is all on site now. Uh, the jv uh, softball field, uh, that's a view from the, from the southwest. And you can see some of that drainage and first plantings that we've done in place. Also, the, the dugouts, um, and some of the seating that is done. And then again, another shot of that varsity baseball. Uh, we're ready for ready for field turf materials on site when we're, we're ready to get that done.
The, the buckets that would be about where first base and third base would be? Is that what those represent? Yeah, that and, and just, uh, part of the drainage system. So yes, that's, that's pretty approximate. Okay. A few of the, of the JV baseball, JV baseball field, uh, a lot's gonna go on in the next 30 days. So in the next 30 days, um, we need to get the turf down, infield material done. We're gonna finish the, the bullpen and the batting cages. Um, we're gonna have, uh, opening day
with some temporary benches. That's a, we a little bit of a delay on those, but we'll have half seats, but that won't keep us from, from playing, uh, final grading and seating and obviously just, uh, just do everything we need for substantial completion and, and punch list items. And in the next 30 days, the concession building, getting our casework in our doors, doing our final plumbing for fixtures and get that substantial completion done in the next 30 days, uh, beyond 30 days. Uh, looking ahead to the April 17th grand opening, um,
will beyond the next 30 days, we'll still be doing some final grading and seeding, uh, just overs, seeding and treatment, making sure we're doing everything we can to establish good growth on the fields. And by the 17th we'll be, we'll be ready for business in the new concession stand. So any, any questions on Holder Field? So games, home games will be able, are as scheduled, we'll be ready to go As of April 17th. Yes. The first game We will, we will actually, Brad, we will actually play a couple of games prior to April 17th.
Right. That'll just be our grand opening because of, we have both high schools, um, baseball and softball that evening to do that. Okay. So we will have a couple of games played on the, um, at the facility prior to that. 17th. That was my question. Yep. Thank you. I think the first one is April 3rd ish, something like that. Yeah, 3:00 PM I pass by every Tuesday morning. And so I like stop and slow down. I'm sure the people behind me are like, go faster. And I'm like, it's a school zone, it's morning. Um, but when that green turf went up in the softball field, it was like, wow.
It looks, I mean, even, and that's far, far from the road, but you can still see it. So it's very exciting. So thank you. Thank you. Any other questions? Good, thanks. Thank you very much For coming tonight. Thank you for having us. A lot of, a lot of exciting things going on. We really appreciate the information. Thank you. That said, any more questions? Alright, we are adjourned. Thank you. Thank you. I am concerned. Thank you.
