Welcome to the August Construction Update for Boulder Prep High School. There has been a lot of activity at Boulder Prep these past few months and everything is on schedule to be completed by early September. The soon-to-be expanded space will be a huge help in delivering expanded programming for Boulder Prep students along with increasing the capacity of the facility. All the tasks, large and small, have been undertaken with the goal of improving the learning environment of the school and we are extremely pleased with the results. Below is a short list of activities that will be taking place during the month of August:
-
Complete the creation of an opening/entry in the north wall of the current space which will access the new space next door
-
New rooftop units to be installed (HVAC)
-
Complete finishes and floor polishing of concrete
-
Complete all final task list items with substantial completion by 9/5
We are extremely excited for the changes that have been made here at Boulder Prep this summer and we hope you and your student(s) feel the same way. As always, we appreciate your patience and support as this work is completed by the beginning of September. We hope that you and your family have had a wonderful summer and a great start to the 2024-25 school year!

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PROCESS
Community Engagement
To ensure the school community is engaged in the project, the project manager (PM) will work directly with the school principal to discuss the identified renovations, meet with the architect, and coordinate the construction schedule. The principal will decide which school staff or parents might need to be involved with the design process depending on the scope of work. The project manager will share information with the entire school staff at key milestones through the design process.
