The $6.5 million school building project on Hawthorne will add another 25,000 square feet of educational and office space to its facility and will remodel an existing 25,000 square feet of the school and classrooms.
The media and computer lab will expand from 600 square feet to 4,500 square feet, while existing classrooms will expand from 600 to 900 square feet.
In addition, the school’s main entrance will be relocated to the east side of the building to improve the safety for everyone entering the building.
The St. Mary’s building project should be complete by the beginning of the 2006-2007 school year.
