Daily Camera: BVSD uses bond issue money to expand its technical education programs | Nov. 12, 2024
Centaurus High students taking mechanical and aerospace engineering classes recently moved into an expanded engineering wing that incudes a large classroom, a commercial grade woodshop and a robotics-themed makerspace with plenty of room to work on bigger projects..
With the Lafayette school’s popular engineering program outgrowing its space, the 3,200-square-foot expansion offers opportunities to add classes and assign more complex projects. The new woodshop also freed up space for a dedicated area for biotechnology projects. Altogether, about 600 students, or about 40% of the school’s enrollment, are taking engineering classes.
New Vista High School's new building is more than just a structure—it’s a testament to the opportunities that arise from a shared investment in education. Thanks to the support of local voters, a new state-of-the-art facility for the students of New Vista became a reality.
A little more than a quarter of the $42 Million invested in school construction projects this summer, was invested in new construction and renovations aimed at expanding and enhancing learning spaces where students can experience hands-on learning and develop knowledge and skills directly related to potential future careers.
Ask nearly any elementary student what their favorite part of the school day is and you are likely to hear a resounding, “RECESS!” This welcome break in the school day brings a chance to get outside, play, socialize, and recharge. However, for students with physical, emotional or cognitive disabilities, play equipment options can be limited and hard to get to.
Before coming to work at the Boulder Valley School District, as the executive director of Bond Planning & Construction, BVSD left quite an impression on Kris Stoppenhagen. “Boulder Valley School District was really my favorite client,” Stoppenhagen said.
As a project manager with RLH Engineering, Stoppenhagen worked with a lot of local school districts including Jeffco Public Schools, Eaton School District, Weld RE-4 in Windsor and Thompson School District. Through different projects, BVSD always stood out to him.
This summer, the days were anything but lazy for construction workers, as work got underway at several BVSD projects, made possible thanks to the generous support by voters, who passed a new bond in November 2022.
