Capital Project Update

In a recent update, Jordan Lilley, Director of Buildings and
Grounds for the Cortland School District, provided an exciting overview of the ongoing capital project initiatives aimed at enhancing school facilities across the district. One of the most notable improvements has been the complete replacement of the turf on the high school football field, which had succumbed to wear and tear over the years. The newly installed field promises not only better gameplay but also improved drainage, enhanced padding for player safety, and vibrant graphics that will boost school spirit during games. In addition to the football field upgrades, significant renovations are taking place in the basement of the high school. Old locker rooms are being transformed into modern facilities, which will include new locker rooms, an athletic training center, and a state-of-the-art weight room. These upgrades aim to provide students with top-notch resources to support their athletic endeavors.

At Randall School, the first phase of the capital project has just been completed, featuring updates to six classrooms that will enhance the learning environment for students.

Meanwhile, at Smith School, major improvements have included the installation of new classroom ventilation systems, heating, plumbing, and three new natural gas boilers, ensuring a comfortable and efficient atmosphere for both students and staff. Lilley noted that much of the work is nearing completion, with ongoing projects at the Junior/Senior High School (JSHS) continuing to progress. As the Cortland School District invests in these crucial upgrades, the community looks forward to reaping the benefits of modernized facilities designed to enhance educational experiences for all students. Stay tuned for further updates as the capital project continues to unfold, bringing new and exciting improvements to the Cortland School District.
