The Tredyffrin‑Easttown School District facilities committee reported that HVAC renovations and interior and exterior upgrades at several schools are on track to begin June 19, 2025, and to reach projected completion by Aug. 21, 2025.
Ken Hong, speaking for the facilities committee, said heating, ventilation and air‑handling renovations and upgrades are scheduled for Beaumont, New Eagle elementary schools, Tredyffrin/Easttown Middle School and Conestoga High School, with interior/exterior renovations also planned for Beaumont, Devon, Hillside and New Eagle elementary schools and the two secondary schools. "HVAC renovations and upgrades… are on track to start June 19, 2025 and projected to finish by August 21, 2025," Hong said.
The committee also updated the board on the district's athletic‑field project. Hong said trade contractors and athletic‑services vendors have received notices to proceed, with site‑work substantial completion projected for mid‑August 2025 and building‑related substantial completion projected by the end of October 2025. The facilities report included a prime contract budget figure presented in the meeting materials; the committee discussed change‑order requests for scoreboard installations, turf logos and softball field turf markings and decided to proceed only with the change order for softball tick marks on turf field 2 while deferring scoreboards and logos pending more cost‑containment options.
Other infrastructure notes: PECO utility poles were scheduled for relocation at the beginning of the month, trench drainage for the lower north parking lot was installed and new utility locations are being coordinated with PECO. On the new elementary school project, Hong reported that interior demolition has begun and construction documents and design development work are underway with the district's engineering consultants.
The committee said it will present further cost options and change‑order recommendations on scoreboards and turf logos at future meetings. The facilities committee next meets Jan. 14, 2025, at the Tredyffrin‑Easttown Administrative Offices; the public is invited to attend.
