GREEN BAY – During the Aug. 26 Green Bay Area Public Schools meeting, board members got an update on the 2022 referendum projects.
Projects completed during the summer of 2024 included Aldo playground; Baird playground; Edison windows, ceiling and lighting, Preble High stadium, West High roof and the East High renovation and addition.
“As you will see [Aug. 30] on the open house walk-through, there will be some punch-list items, some equipment installs, some site work that is still being completed; but, we do have full occupancy. It is a usable space to staff and students, but you will see some work still ongoing there throughout the next couple of weeks,” said COO Cale Pulczinski, regarding the work on East High.
“We do have quite a few in progress. This is due to a few things — some of them are closing out as we speak; some of these will be moved into the complete list next week.”
Pulczinski said that the Edison auditorium was scheduled to be completed on Sept. 6.
“That is really just having to do with audio in that auditorium, so still usable but the upgrades to audio still going on,” he said.
Pulczinski said that two playgrounds — Danz and Sullivan — will be completed this fall.
The Lombardi chiller project will be completed in the summer of 2025.
“Lombardi and King is a little unique — we combined those two. King, the solar and lighting is complete. Lombardi lighting is complete, and this October, the remaining portion of the project will be the solar array going on top of Lombardi,” he added.
“The Preble renovation/addition has a revised construction completion date in January; so, that will be ongoing during the school year.
“Southwest auditorium sound is another one similar to Edison, just an upgrade that will be complete Sept. 6.
The West High auditorium, which is receiving a facelift, is scheduled to be complete Nov. 22, and the gym will be finished in August.
West weight room equipment is scheduled to be installed on Sept. 3 and 4.
The West stadium field is usable and will host a homecoming on Sept. 20.
“There will still be plenty of work to do after that, as we work towards completion later this fall,” he explained.
Scheduled 2025 projects include the Franklin renovation, Howe HVAC, JDAL HVAC, Southwest High gym floor and bleachers, Sullivan HVAC, Washington orchestra room sound panels and the Washington roof.
Projects completed prior to the summer include the East fire alarm, East tennis courts, Edison track and long Jump, Franklin roof, Jackson playground, Preble parking lot, Smith playground asphalt, Smith cooler and freezer, Southwest baseball and softball, Southwest roof, Southwest tennis courts and West tennis courts.
