Bid Opening Next Week For New Northview High Weight Training Facility

December 11, 2013

Bids will be opened next Tuesday to choose contractor for a new weight training facility for Northview High School.

The Escambia County School Board approved the weight training facility back at their January 22, 2013, meeting, letting a $69,913 contract with DAG Architects in Pensacola for architectural and engineering services.

The new building 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 weight training facility 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.

Updated 6:00 a.m. to reflect that the district is now calling the building a “Weight Training Facility”, not a field house.
