Key Components of the Building Project
Use the links below to see a description and photos about these areas of the building project.
• Bethlehem Central Middle School
• Bethlehem Central High School
Renovations at all five elementary schools to create small instructional spaces to house enrichment and remedial classes, ensure handicapped accessibility and new building heating and cooling systems. Classroom additions where necessary to ensure adequate space for current and future enrollment and dedicated special subject rooms, including the construction of the new Eagle Elementary School (see below). Additional renovations at Clarksville Elementary School expanded the library media center and cafeteria to create facilities comparable to those in the other elementary schools. Relocation of some main offices to allow for better monitoring of visitors. Reconfigured bus and car parking and student drop-off areas at all schools to make sure pedestrians, buses and cars can all enter and exit safely, even at peak traffic times. Parking would be expanded at most schools.
The new 16-classroom Eagle Elementary School was constructed on district-owned land on Van Dyke Road. Eagle opened its doors to students in September 2008. A year earlier, votes approved using special state construction funding to build an additional wing at Eagle to give the district enough total elementary school classrooms to implement full-day kindergarten in September 2009. This is when the new 8-classroom wing at Eagle opened.
Additions and renovations, including a new wing, to ensure that middle school houses have adequate classroom space, including science facilities and special subject rooms (e.g. art, music and technology), and can abandon the use of relocatable classrooms and rooms that are smaller than New York State Education Department recommendations. Also, house leaders and guidance counselors have office space right in each house and can better monitor additional entrances to improve building security. Expansion and reconfiguration of the cafeteria to relieve overcrowding and to serve as a large-group instructional space for team-wide projects. New music rooms to serve as rehearsal and performance spaces for curricular and extracurricular music and theater programs that have outgrown their current spaces; plus lighting and acoustical upgrades to auditoriums. Expansion of the Middle School's lower gymnasium. Reconfigured bus and car parking and student drop-off areas at all schools to make sure pedestrians, buses and cars can all enter and exit safely, even at peak traffic times. Expanded parking areas. Addition of handicapped-accessible restrooms and an elevator.
Two new classroom wings, plus connecting corridors to allow access to all classroom wings without going outside. Three new science labs to keep pace with growing course enrollments as students are required to take more science courses. Relocation of Pupil Personnel Services to provide more space and easier access for the public; expansion of the Counseling Center. Expansion and relocation of some existing art rooms, creating state-of-the-art facilities to prepare students for careers in art and design. Renovations to Project Lead the Way (engineering program) classrooms to provide space more conducive to classroom instruction. Expansion of the cafeteria, including creation of a student foyer to serve as a central student gathering place. Relocation of the fitness center to ground level to allow easier access for students and community. New music rooms to serve as rehearsal and performance spaces for curricular and extracurricular music and theater programs that have outgrown their current spaces; plus lighting and acoustical upgrades to auditoriums. Reconfigured bus and car parking and student drop-off areas at all schools to make sure pedestrians, buses and cars can all enter and exit safely, even at peak traffic times. Expanded parking areas. Addition of handicapped-accessible restrooms and an elevator.
An investment to fund replacement of the district's network infrastructure, a replacement plan for instructional computers, and instructional technologies to use in classrooms at all grade levels.
Two new athletic fields at the High School to keep pace with growing enrollment and increasing requests for use by community groups.
Expanded staff meeting room, new bus wash to reduce bus rust issues; new maintenance bays to help keep up with preventative maintenance program and state DOT inspections; expended paving to reduce wear on buses.
