CHUH Middle Schools Renovation Plans Presented

CLEVELAND HEIGHTS, OH — The Cleveland Heights-University Heights Board of Education approved design documents for renovations at the district's middle schools. The plan outlined by Moody Nolan and Turner Construction have Monticello and Roxboro re-opening for classes in 2019.

Construction on the two buildings will begin in March 2018, according to the district. Renovations will include new LED lighting, new water source heat pumps for each classroom, new wiring, new sound receptacles and much more. Both schools will also get new HVAC systems.

In addition to the overall building improvements, classrooms in each school are also slated for some upgrades, including a fresh coat of paint, new carpet and ceiling tiles, and new marker boards. Workers will also install new fire alarms and life safety systems.

A full breakdown of the planned improvements can be found in the presentation given to the Board last Tuesday. (To stay up to date on local stories, subscribe to the Patch Cleveland Heights newsletter. As news breaks and the story develops, you will be the first to receive updates from Patch.)

The schools will not be receiving new roofs, furniture, lockers, internal plumbing lines, fire sprinklers, network servers or food service equipment.

The Board will need to approve the guaranteed maximum price for the project in December 2017.
