| Trenton, NJ (September 22, 2004) –
New Jersey Schools Construction Corporation (SCC) Board of Directors has awarded a $2.4 million design consultant contract to NJ K-12 Architects of New Brunswick for an addition and renovations at Keansburg High School.
The design work will entail a 70,286-square-foot addition and renovations to the existing 80,685-square-foot high school in the Monmouth County school district. The state-of-the-art expansion will provide 21st century educational opportunities for about 500 students. The addition will include general classrooms, an auditorium with stage, a performing arts area, media technology center, auxiliary gym, weight room and locker room. Over $2 million in health and safety work already has been completed at Keansburg High School, including roofing, mechanical and power system upgrades and the installation of fire alarms, emergency lighting, doors, windows and a communications system. |

The design, expected to be completed within a year, will be followed by a 15- to 18-month construction period, with completion projected by mid 2007. The construction cost estimate is $24.6 million. Greyhawk North America is the project management firm. The project is being fully funded and managed by SCC, which Governor James E. McGreevey initiated in July 2002 to streamline the building of much-needed quality educational facilities through New Jersey’s $8.6 billion school construction program. "Our construction initiative - to provide safe, healthy and high quality school facilities - is the largest public building program ever undertaken by the State and one of the largest programs of its type ever undertaken in the nation," said John F. Spencer, CEO of SCC. |
