Northview $162K Gym Renovation, Other Projects Begin; Parking Lot Closed
June 1, 2015
The Escambia County School Board has awarded a contract that will remodel and combine the boys and girls weight rooms inside the Northview High School gym into new facilities for female use. That gym and other construction projects are officially underway as of today, forcing the closure of the student parking lot.
The $161,750 contract was awarded to low bidder Birkshire Johnstone LLC, including a base bid of $145,00 plus add-ons of a smart projector, sound system and LED lighting. The next lowest bid came in at $199,000. The project is due to be completed before the start of school in August.
A new 3,500 square foot building including a weight room, locker room, coaches’ offices, storage and accompanying restrooms was recently completed on the campus for male use.
Because of the gym project, the student parking lot behind the gym is closed to all students and school personnel. The gym and theater are off limits to students for the summer.
Sidewalks and parking areas are also under construction in the athletic areas to the west of the main buildings, and HVAC upgrades are underway in the main building.

This sounds all nice but what about the band? With the gym and theater closed for the summer where exactly is the band/ majorettes/color gaurd to practice? Last year they lost the practice field by the softball field due to the new building that was built for the football team. They were not allowed to pratice on the football field either. So they used the gym and the theater.
