Construction is set to start this summer on nearly $50-million of school upgrades in the Plainview-Old Bethpage, N.Y. Central School District following voters’ approval last month of a school bond to finance the work.

由4,980万美元的债券资助的建筑计划被称为“建筑期货”，将涵盖该地区拥有的七所学校和另外两座建筑物。工作将主要关注能源升级，但也将资助与安全相关的工作。

根据该地区的说法，这些建筑物的历史可以追溯到1950年代和1960年代，具有原始且能源不利的单窗格窗户。

BBS Architects，景观建筑师和工程师的高级助理兼工程和技术主管Frederick Seeba说，建筑业的主要阶段将分为四个阶段，以防止干扰教育活动。

Seeba说：“大多数工作，例如更换所有窗户，砖石修理和其他建筑物信封的改进，必须在温暖的天气期间完成。”施工应在2018年之前完成。

“建设项目将包括建筑velope renovations that aim at improving energy efficiency, classroom and other interior renovations, safety and security upgrades, new technology systems, renovations of outdoor sports facilities, and infrastructure and building systems upgrades,” says Roger Smith, principal architect at BBS. “Energy efficiency improvements will result in annual savings of approximately $239,000 for the school district.”

根据BBS项目经理史蒂文·沃尔什（Steven Walsh）的说法，两层楼的234,930平方英尺约翰·肯尼迪高中（John F. Kennedy High School）将进行580万美元的翻新工程。其中包括87个新内饰和外部数码摄像机，33个运动探测器，带有频闪灯和一氧化碳探测器的新火灾报警系统，所有新的外门和框架，48个教室和其他关键区域的新门以及ADA- 合并升级，包括一个新的椅子，以提供地下室级别的访问权限。还将添加约50,300平方英尺的新天花板和照明设备，以及34,000平方英尺的新乙烯基组成瓷砖地板。

The high school’s large group instruction space, which also serves as an auditorium and performance facility, will receive $955,000 in upgrades that will include a new sound system, ductwork insulation, seating for 610 spectators, projection location, proscenium curtains and valances, and flooring, as well as upgraded acoustics. Site work on school grounds will include two new tennis courts and renovations to four others.

Other schools set to undergo renovations as part of the program include Plainview-Old Bethpage Middle School, Howard B. Mattlin Middle School, K-Center/Stratford Road Elementary School, Parkway Elementary School, Pasadena Elementary School, and Old Bethpage Elementary School.

Two non-educational buildings owned by the district, Jamaica Avenue and Fern Place, also will have renovations funded.
