Construction Update
As you know, this year we began construction on the additions to the high school buildings.
Based on enrollment numbers, the Ankeny Community School District is expanding the existing two high school buildings, increasing each from 1,400 student capacity to 1,860 in time for the 2021-2022 school year. After these additions, our district demographer predicts the two high schools will not reach capacity until after 2030. We continue to plan and strategize how to best address growth in our district, while being good stewards of taxpayer dollars in Ankeny.
This past month, constructions crews completed the concrete demo and began the brick veneer demo work, completed the building pad subgrade preparation, and started the building underground plumbing and utility relocation. Next month, they will be working on installing the building footings, main power conduits, and the block walls. Throughout the process, our construction manager, Stahl Construction, is working closely with district and building administration to ensure minimal disruptions to the learning environment.
