PLEASE do not reply to this email, contact Kristin Glenchur,

This is the second of the weekly communications regarding the construction
projects at Berkeley High.  These communications will provide the most
accurate information available from BUSD Facilities and BHS Administration.

Update on Site Construction Committee:  This Committee will meet monthly
starting in late November and will be an avenue to improve communication. If
you are interested in participating on the committee contact Richard Ng at
Richardng at berkeley.net by November 10th. 

*	The objectives of the Site Construction Committee are to

*	Provide parents, faculty, staff, and community members with
accurate, up-to-date information from the BUSD, and its design and
construction consultants.
*	Provide central administration with information and input from
parents, faculty, staff, and community members who are interested in the BHS
construction projects.

*	The Site Construction Committee will include staff, students,
parents and community members.  

 

Storage solutions

*	BHS added a fifth container on the athletic field for storage.
*	Fall football athletes are storing their athletic items overnight in
the designated storage area. Winter soccer athletes will be provided similar
storage in designated containers.
*	Crew rowing machines are now being stored in containers on the
football field and dry land workouts take place in the athletic field area.

 

Weight Room for After-School Athletic Use

*	Thanks to the cooperation of the YMCA and BUSD, a weight room is
operational for BHS Athletic use at the teen-center located at MLK and
Center.  Hours of operation are 5-8 Monday through Thursday and 5-6:30 on
Friday.  Consistent with previous practice and to ensure student safety,
athletes must be accompanied by their coach/s. BHS athletic teams who wish
to use the facility should contact Bill Gaebler, Athletic Director at
williamgaebler at berkeley.net.

 

BHS Home Football Games

*	The BHS Homecoming football game versus Pinole Valley High School
takes place this Friday 10/28 at BHS. Temporary bleachers will be brought in
and stationed on the visitor's side to accommodate the crowd.
*	The final home football game of the regular season against Richmond
on Friday, 11/4 will take place at BHS.

 

South of Bancroft Construction Report:  

*	Phase I - Based upon the information we have currently, the stadium
building, which includes six team locker-rooms, a training room, and an
athletic office, should be completed before the opening of the next school
year.
*	Phase II of the project has been submitted to the Division of State
Architect (DSA).  DSA is the entity which permits public school
construction. The architect is working to get the plans approved by DSA and
DSA approval is needed before bidding to select a contractor for demolition
and building can take place.  

*	Phase II includes the demolition of the Old Gym, demolition of the
old home bleachers and addition of smaller visitors bleachers on the west
side, building of the new classroom/gyms building, landscape improvements
throughout the South of Bancroft project, a new athletic scoreboard, and
other site improvements.
*	Future reports will provide representations of South of Bancroft
Improvements. 

 

Derby Field Project:  Future reports will provide updates.
