Next Steps • Renovation study validated current decision to replace • Submit POR to JBR/Board • Continue Design Process • Additional meetings with staff, administrators, curriculum and community • Develop site/building layout concepts • Develop renderings • Bidding Documents • Construction • Timeline • Bidding Documents : Spring 2013 • Construction: Spring 2013 through summer 2015
