The bond construction program will provide approximately $201 million for building improvements and nearly $14 million for technology. Construction will be completed over a five-year period, beginning in 2009 and ending in 2013....

The final phase of the Aurora Hills bond project includes demolition of the old school building and site improvements. Building demolition will begin in early March and continue through April. Other work will include sidewalk demolition and replacement on adjacent streets, landscaping improvements, fencing and installation of sod for new athletic fields. The Aurora Hills athletic fields will be ready for use by early October.

APS will recycle a large percentage of the waste from the old school building as part of the Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) certification process. LEED is an internationally recognized program, which certifies projects that meet “green” building practices.

Superintendent John Barry and Aurora Hills Middle School students cut the ribbon on the new Aurora Hills building.

Nearly 1,000 participants recently celebrated the grand opening of the new Aurora Hills Middle School.

The new school replaces a 1973 building constructed without windows, classroom walls or doors. The new school will benefit students and the entire community by providing a much improved learning environment for the Aurora Hills International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme.

The project was funded with bond dollars approved by Aurora voters in 2008.
