General process and timeline for major school construction
The school bond measure approved by voters in November 2018 will fund improvements at every 4J school.
Every school will receive safety and security improvements, new curriculum materials and technology upgrades for a 21st century education. At every high school, the bond will enhance career technical education (vocational) opportunities and improve athletic facilities to be more equitable for girls and boys. Many schools will have additional facility improvements, depending on the age and condition of the building.
Major school construction projects
Three aging school buildings will be replaced with high-quality facilities built for school safety, modern seismic standards, sustainability, and 21st century education: North Eugene High School, Edison Elementary School and Camas Ridge Elementary School.
Gilham Elementary School will see classroom additions and other improvements.
Key timeline dates
Pre-design work is underway in fall/winter 2018–19. In spring 2019, the district will select architect teams and begin the design process for the first projects.
Some key milestones in the potential construction timeline are:
- Summer 2020: Corridor Elementary School moves to North Eugene building
- Summer 2020: Yujin Gakuen Elementary School moves to Kelly building
- Fall 2021: Gilham Elementary School addition opens
- Summer 2022: Edison Elementary School moves out of old building
- Fall 2022: New Camas Ridge Elementary School building opens
- Fall 2023: New North Eugene High School building opens
- Fall 2024: New Edison Elementary School opens
There will be opportunities for information updates and community engagement throughout the design and construction process.
