The Riverside (California) district has completed a $61.5 million renovation of John W. North High School.
The Raincross Gazette reports that the renovation brings modern learning spaces to a campus that has served Riverside students since 1965. The project gives North High students access to improved science classrooms, a competitive gymnasium, and updated facilities throughout the campus.
Improvements include a new eight-classroom science building and an 18,327-square-foot competitive gymnasium. The project also modernized restrooms, enhanced campus entry points, and improved accessibility features across the school.
Seven existing buildings received heating, ventilation and air conditioning renovations, along with new ceilings, lighting, flooring and paint.
Measure O, a $392 million bond approved by voters in 2016, provided $50 million toward the project. The district funded the remaining $11.5 million through the federal Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund, which supported the HVAC and lighting system upgrades.
