Volume 6 Spring 2022 A publication designed to update the community on the construction process for the new PreK-5 elementary building Excitement, Major Progress Characterizes Update on PreK-5 Elementary Facility
Joelle Magyar Superintendent
As the weather has officially broken, the progress being made in all aspects of the Brecksville-Broadview Heights Elementary School construction project are positively and productively moving forward. More and more members of the BBHCSD family have had the opportunity to tour the facility over the last several months to witness the progress firsthand. From milestones to the external façade, to the most intricate internal considerations, the final preparatory checkmarks are being made right now. According to Shook Construction, our devoted and competent construction management team, ‘owner occupancy’ of the facility will officially be June 2022. What an impressive accomplishment for everyone in the Brecksville-Broadview Heights City Schools!
The exterior of the BBH Elementary School is taking on its completed shape!
Throughout this publication, you will read updates of various types. One major milestone is that while the project has remained on-schedule for completion, it has also remained under budget as well. This is a result of the meticulous oversight by District leaders, the architects, and the construction management team. Together, this collaborative effort has helped keep close watch on every single dollar spent. That said, in the process of constructing this state-of-the-art facility, district leaders envisioned cutting-edge innovation and technology, prime use of space for learning, social and emotional wellness and more. This facility accommodates for today’s emerging standards and approaches to education, as well as prepares as best as possible, for what education could look like generations from now. Very exciting!
On page 3 of The Buzz newsletter, you will see the complete tentative schedule for signing up to take tours of the BBH Elementary School, which will all be done electronically. The district has prepared chances for the students and families of those not attending the building to tour it, and then for the community-at-large to visit the facility. As we approach the school year, a number of events are slated for students who will be in the facility this coming fall. Tours and orientations are tentatively outlined on this page. Let’s not forget that the BBHCSD plans to say farewell to the current elementary buildings Chippewa, Highland and Hilton as well on the final day of school. The community will be able to visit these locations one final time during the Home Days celebrations for both the City of Brecksville and the City of Broadview Heights as well. Once again, please see page 3. As the building takes its final steps towards completion, we thank the community for their lasting support and tireless love. Without it, this project would not be possible. I sincerely hope that the entire community takes great pride and joy when they drive past this facility or visit the BBH Elementary School on Oakes Road. The impact you have made, and will make on students for generations to come, is truly world-class, precisely what our communities expect. GO BEES.
Sincerely, Joelle Magyar Superintendent
