Wash High Considering Multi-Million Dollar Stadium Upgrades

The Washington School District is considering a major, multi-million dollar upgrade to its football stadium. According to the Observer-Reporter, a representative from HHSDR Architects Engineers’ Pittsburgh presented three options that range from $7.1 million to $8.9 million. The first option would renovate and expand the current field house along Tyler Avenue. The second would replace the current building, and the third would construct a new field house on the opposite side of the football field from the current structure. The first option would cost approximately $7.1 million, the second is $8.1 million and the third would be just over $8.9 million. There are also options to replace the track at the stadium and add more than 120 new parking spaces. Track replacement would add another $3.5 million and parking expansion another $1 million. The entire project would reportedly take about one year to complete. School District Business Manager Emily DiNardo says funding would come from capital reserves and would not affect taxpayers in the district. The school board is further discuss the project when they meet again on June 15.
