Field House In The Works For Northview’s Chiefs

January 17, 2013

Approaching 20 years after it first opened , a field house is in the works for Northview High School.

At their January 22 meeting, theĀ  Escambia County School Board is set to approved an architectural and engineering services contract with DAG Architects in Pensacola for $69,913.

The new field house will be about 3,500 square feet. The building will include one weight room, coaches’ offices, storage and accompanying restrooms. The construction budget is set at $490,000, to be funded with local option sales tax monies.

The new field house will be constructed near the main building where outdoor basketball courts are currently located. There is no timetable in place for the completion of the project.

Northview is the only public high school in Escambia County without a field house. The school opened in 1995.

    Way to go, Chiefs! It took a State Championship title to get this done, but at least it’s in the works!
