The Carlstadt-East Rutherford Regional (N.J.) district has proposed a $55 million expansion to its Henry P. Becton Regional High School campus in East Rutherford.
The 90,000-square-foot expansion, if approved, would include an addition to the main high school building that would host six STEM industrial labs with a rooftop solar observatory, reports northjersey.com.
Other planned additions to the campus: a regulation-size community gymnasium, an expanded wellness center and a sensory garden for autistic students. The project would also add an industrial culinary and baking kitchen and studio and cosmetology and fashion design studios.
Special education students would have access to a full-scale apartment to learn life skills, along with therapy rooms, de-escalation rooms and classrooms for occupational, physical and speech therapy.
The district hopes to secure funding for the expansion in a March bond election.
