YHS Construction Update

The renovation and expansion project at York High School continues to march on. School begins on Tuesday, August 20th and the building will be inhabitable by that time but far from a finished product.

The fine arts addition will be completed and fully accessible by the first day of school. It provides spacious, state of the art rooms and storage for art, vocal music, and instrumental music.

The new district storage and office facility on the east side of campus is opened and fully functional. The new district office address is 1715 North Delaware Avenue.

The entrance canopy at the south entrance is nearing completion. A new parking lot at the south entrance that will provide an additional 46 parking stalls is also nearing completion.

The new gym will not be done until late October but it will be ready for the winter sports season. The playing floor will be the same size as the existing gym at YHS.

The interior remodel is the main focus right now. Flooring will be added to the east entrance and gym commons area within the next few weeks. Flooring will also be installed at the south entrance towards the media center. Skylights are being added throughout corridor and commons areas as well. The newly renovated kitchen is nearing completion as well.

Some flooring will not be done until after the school year has started. The project remains on schedule to be completed around Thanksgiving.

The slight water damage that was incurred on July 8th is a distant memory. Our gym floor is fine. Aside from several hours of clean-up, we didn’t suffer much damage at all.

We look forward to finishing up the project and having an open house for all of the public later this fall. GO DUKES!
