PLANNING & DESIGN UPDATE
The Rhinelander administrative team has been meeting with Bray Architects regularly. The team has also been meeting with staff at both the middle and high school. As part of the planning process, it was crucial to meet with staff over the month of May before the transition to summer schedules. Staff groups, such as the tech ed department, are still planning to meet over the summer to help finalize the floor plans and engineering details.
WHAT’S NEW?
Since the successful referendum, the School District of Rhinelander has been working through initial planning steps. Those planning steps include setting up the referendum borrowing schedules, working through the design schedule, and interviewing construction managers. In April, the construction manager proposals were due back to the district. After proposals were received, the district reviewed and narrowed down the selection to two firms. The board interviewed both firms and selected C.D. Smith Construction at the board meeting on May 20th.
