Platteville Schools Looking For Designer For Major Project

Platteville School District officials are seeking a designer for a proposed activities complex as part of a number of districtwide construction projects expected to come before voters for approval in November. Superintendent Jim Boebel says they are attempting to do a facility upgrade for four campuses across the district. The Platteville School Board recently approved a request for proposals, seeking a firm to oversee the activities complex project from concept through construction. The board last month approved a request for proposals for a construction manager for the rest of the potentially $51.8 million project, which would include cafeteria renovations and a gym addition at Neal Wilkins Early Learning Center; classroom additions at Platteville Middle School; and office, classroom, cafeteria and theater renovations and a gym addition at Platteville High School. Depending on costs and community feedback, some version of the work is proposed to appear in a November bond measure.
