The money is considered rebuilding money, which the district believes it is entitled to as a result of the damage caused by Hurricane Sandy in 2012. The award is expected within the year and construction will start shortly thereafter.

Murray Forman, the president of Lawrence’s Board of Education described the upcoming projects as a ground-up renovation.

“What will come out of the process is basically a brand-new building,” he said.

Once the FEMA money is received the board has plans to implement several renovations to the high school through a 5-year plan which will include new turf fields, new heating ventilation for the new boilers and new air conditioning.

In addition a flood wall around the entire property will be built to stem flooding. There will also be new lighting installed, drainage, a backup power supply and additional renovations of the gym and music suite, and new HVAC for all classrooms.

The high school projects are scheduled to get under way this summer. After the renovations at the Broadway Campus building saw old restrooms and locker rooms completely upgraded, school officials are excited for work to begin at the high school.

“It’s going to be a whole different, very nice experience that will be different than people in lots of different schools,” said Asher Mansdorf, the board’s vice president. “They’re going to be educated in airconditioned spaces all the way through. There are kids who are on the Broadway campus that will have their entire Lawrence experience in a brand-new building.”
