The Butler Area School District is moving forward in the process of a construction and renovation project at the Senior High School facilities.
Following a presentation by representatives of the district’s engineering company and architectural contractor, the Butler Township Planning Commission gave conditional approval to land development plans including more classroom space as well as locker room renovations.
The classroom addition project would be constructed at the current site of the covered walkway near the Vo-Tech and include STEM space, a large group instruction area and a connection to the 300 wing. This space is needed for reorganization that would see 9th grade students shifted to the Senior High.
The Planning Commission’s recommendation is conditional on the addressing of a couple of issues including a closer look at the property line shared with the Vo-Tech as well as plans to address the flow of storm water. This project will next go before the Butler Township Commissioners later this month for possible final approval.
