Architects review plans for potential $59.3M Trinity school projects

Consulting firm VEBH Architects last week presented Trinity Area School Board with an overview of planned renovations at Trinity Middle School and new construction of an intermediate school on the middle school campus.

VEBH representatives reviewed plans for a greatly renovated middle school, which includes constructing a new, three-level intermediate school that will be an addition to the middle school arts wing.

The project is estimated to cost between $52.5 million and $59.3 million, VEBH said.

Among the proposed construction projects at the middle school are: relocating the middle school administration office to the middle school’s current main entrance; renovating the natatorium and adding seating; constructing an indoor athletic fitness facility; and adding gymnasium seating.

Jackie Cowan, project manager, said moving the administration offices and the Student Resource Officer to the front of the building will provide a single entry point with a secure vestibule for students and visitors, and increase visibility to the parking lot.

In the natatorium, gallery seating will be added to allow spectators an elevated view of the swimming pool.

“One of the challenges with the existing natatorium is that there’s only one location for seating and it’s at deck level, so there’s no vantage point for spectators,” said Cowan.
