Summer Construction at OHS - Updates on Projects and Building Access

Monday, May 19, 2025

Hi everyone!

This upcoming summer will be busy around our Main Campus as we finish up the facility projects approved in the April 2023 referendum. Here is a quick update on the construction that will be occurring at OHS this summer.

 

Roof Replacement

Over the last year, the crews have finished replacing the roofs over the cafeteria and our north, south and west campuses. Crews will work to replace the roof on the east side of Main Campus by the back parking lots during the summer. 

HVAC Replacement

Last summer, we were able to complete the HVAC replacement project on the first floor. While we started the year without air conditioning, we will have air conditioning in the building soon, including this summer, and moving forward. Phew!

This summer, crews will be replacing the HVAC system on the second and third floors of Main Campus. This is a big undertaking and likely means that those areas of the building will not be accessible to students, staff, and families until late August. However, this is the last phase of the project.

Windows and Classroom Doors

All the windows at Main Campus and a majority of classroom doors will be replaced. The new windows and doors will help improve energy conservation and the safety and security of our building.

Gale Douglas Fieldhouse Upgrades

Our construction partner, CG Schmidt, made a generous donation to provide a much-needed new sound system in our Gale Douglas Fieldhouse. Other additional projects occurring in the Fieldhouse include new LED lighting and new sound panels. We are so thankful for the sound system from our construction partner! 

We are pushing for these projects to be worked on and completed towards the end of July, when we typically have fewer scheduled events in the Fieldhouse. At this time, we don’t have a clear completion timeline, but we anticipate these projects will be completed this summer.

 

Summer Office Hours and Parking
The weight room, fieldhouse, fieldhouse lobby, tennis pavilion, and all outside fields will remain accessible for summer school classes, summer camps, O-Power, and community events. We ask that students, staff, and guests park in the south parking lot when accessing campus this summer.

All academic summer school classes will be held at East Campus.

The Main Campus front office will be open this summer. Hours are listed below:

• Monday, June 9-Friday, June 13 from 7:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.
• Monday, June 16 -Tuesday, August 5 from 7:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. on Mondays-Thursdays 
• NOTE: The office will be closed Monday, June 30 - Friday, July 4. 
• Wednesday, August 6 is Picture Day and Registration from 11:00 a.m.- 6:00 p.m.
• We will resume our normal 7am-3pm hours beginning on Thursday, August 7.

We are in the home stretch of these projects, and I am so thankful to everyone for their help, support, and patience as we navigated all the construction over the last two years.

Thanks!
