According to a draft environmental assessment for the project, the structure will be approximately 10,200-square-feet and will provide one standard size high school basketball court, two smaller basketball courts, and two standard high school sized volleyball courts.
Construction costs are estimated at $4 million and will be funded by the state.
The project will give students from kindergarten through eighth grade a covered facility where they can engage in outdoor play during inclement weather and high outdoor temperatures.
Construction is projected to commence in December 2023 and take about 10 months to complete.
