Officials Break Ground On Conestoga Expansion, Renovation Project

BERWYN, PA — The Tredyffrin/Easttown School District recently broke ground on its Conestoga High School Expansion and Renovation Project.

District officials held a groundbreaking on Wednesday for the project, which will create 11 regular classrooms, three special education classrooms, four science labs, an art room, a fabrication lab, a large flexible learning space (atrium area), and smaller spaces for meetings, offices and small group instruction.

Additionally, the project include internal renovations to expand the library, the nurse suite, student services suite and the cafeteria to better accommodate the increasing enrollment.

While all that is happening inside the school, there will be improvements outside as well.

There will be 94 additional parking spaces, as well as a new sports bus queue in front of the gyms.

The district aims to have all new additions done and occupied by 2022.

Construction costs are projected to be $30.9 million, with an entire all-in projected budget — which includes professional consulting services, furniture, fixtures and equipment, permits, fees and testing, and a project contingency — projected at $39.6 million.
