Joseph asks about temporary classrooms and construction timelines
Joseph asks about the timeline for temporary classroom units being developed by ACS, DDC, and SCA. Administration witnesses say they are waiting for final state approval and hope the classrooms are ready in the next couple of weeks; construction renovations at Horizon and Crossroads are underway with completion around 2027.
When we were there, we noticed that construction of temporary class units.
What is the timeline for completion of the ACS, DCC, and SCA development and installation of temporary classrooms that will create additional space for educational programming?
We worked really closely with the School Construction Authority.
Got that right?
And we're hoping they're actually in place and ready to utilize.
We're just waiting for the final approval from our state partners.
And so we're hoping in the next couple of weeks.
And you will alert the committee once it comes online?
Are there construction plans for renovation of Horizon Crossroad or both?
Because that's one of the other things that we talked about, the conditions where the young people are.
You have to update and renovate those spaces for them.
I'm sorry, you're asking about the...
Renovation and updating infrastructure.
Yes.
Yes.
There is renovation happening at Horizon with an anticipated completion date the end of 2027.
And the renovations at Crossroads, a similar timeline.
When are you starting and it's ending in 2027?
The construction has already begun.
They're in different stages at both facilities.
And what we have been able to do with the support of our
fellow agencies across the administration is actually get construction expedited so that they are usable spaces far more quickly than originally planned and anticipated by almost two years.
