From KSDK: Normandy Schools Collaborative Facilities Director Randy Shipley and Principal Nakia Douglas say the $26 million renovation project at the high school is long overdue.
“The high school campus hasn’t seen a project of this size in many years,” Shipley said.
“The campus will be 100 years old in two years, but kids really needed new spaces that were reflective of the jobs and the careers that they’re going to have in the future,” Douglas said.
Construction began in the West Hall last summer, where they renovated classrooms for their career-focused courses and a new cafeteria.
“We have students who are learning business, culinary sciences, fashion design in that space at that time,” Assistant Principal Dustin Stockmann said.
Currently, the East Hall is shut down as they transform it into their humanities building.
“Social studies, foreign language, English but also with a lower commons area that will have a home feel so the students will be able to have some place after school that’s safe and secure for them,” Stockmann said.
“Restrooms, hallways, stairwells, classrooms, we expect when kids re-enter East Hall, it’s going to look totally different to them,” Shipley said.
