This is the fourth of the weekly BHS Construction Reports providing the most
accurate information from BUSD Facilities and BHS Administration:

 

BHS Site Construction Committee:  

.           Reminder, the application to be on the site committee is due
Thursday, November 10 by 3:00. Contact Richard Ng at Richardng at berkeley.net.


.           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 and
to provide central administration with information and input from parents,
faculty, staff, and community members who are interested in the BHS
construction project. Weight Room for After-School Athletic Use.

Athletic Weight Room:

.           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/es. BHS athletic teams who wish to use the facility should contact
Bill Gaebler, Athletic Director at williamgaebler at berkeley.net. 

 

Winter Athletic practices began 11/7/2011:  

.           Basketball practices will utilize the Donahue Gym and Jacket
Gyms. 

.           Wrestling practice will be located in the new dance gym

South of Bancroft Construction Report:  

.           Phase I - Based on the site's request, we installed a sign on
the entrance gate limiting hours of truck access. The contractor has
continued to have large crews on the site.  The project is expected to be
completed by the opening of next school year.

.           Phase II  - The project manager is finalizing the schedule for
the remainder of South of Bancroft construction.  The superintendent and
high school principal will review that schedule before it is finalized.  The
project 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. 

Derby Field Project

.           The project will relocate a portion of Derby Street to provide a
space for the baseball team. The architect completed preliminary
construction documents last week and the District is reviewing those
documents.

.           The plans will be submitted to the Division of State Architect
(DSA) at the end of this month. The project is on a very tight timeline but
is still scheduled for completion in February 2013.

 

Berkeley Community Theatre

.           The contract is scheduled to be complete by the end of the
month.  The District will likely hire a follow-on contractor to make a few
additional modifications.
