New hardwood floor and bleachers part of CHSS renovations

What began as a community's
desire for gym floor upgrades has
now developed into that plus much
more, including outdoor masonry
repair and bolstering the Avon
Maitland District School Board's
emergency preparedness.
And now, executing a just -
approved major renovation at
Central Huron Secondary School
(CHSS) in Clinton could be quite
complicated, with funding coming
from various sources and d work
being done in a variety of technical
disciplines.
At a regular meeting Tuesday,
May 9, trustees accepted the low bid
for the project from Henderson
Builders, for just over $1.74 million.
The project will include tearing
out the gymnasium stage to make
room for a larger, hardwood floor
(the existing floor is not hardwood),
replacing the bleachers, and con-
structing storage space connected to
the gym but occupying ground
which is currently outside the
CHSS building footprint, in a court-
yard. This space is necessary to
replace the storage area currently
beneath the stage.
"When we first looked at the pro-
ject, we knew the school just wanted

a new floor," explained business
superintendent Janet Baird -
Jackson in an interview. "But we
knew we needed to do some
upgrades in the HVAC (heating,
ventilation and air conditioning)
and electrical, and iteventually
took on a much larger scope."
Some electrical work is due to
begin almost immediately in the
Learning Resource Centre portion
of the building, which is occupied
not by students but by Avon
Maitland staff and computer capa-
bilities.
A portion of the rest of the build-
ing's wiring will also be updated.
And the original portion of the
school, dating to 1926, will get an
exterior facelift. This includes
repointing brick, new copper flash-
ings, and some new steps and win-
dows.
Funding for the project is coming
from various sources. The CHSS
school community has committed to
raising $100,000 towards the gym
floor, and is already well past the
half -way mark in its campaign.
Masonry, electrical, HVAC and
windows work will be covered by a
special provincial government grant
called Good Places to Learn.
Other work falls under the
Facilities Renewal portion of the
Avon Maitland budget.
