Wondering what's happening at the construction site of
the new gymnasium?

Sit back and enjoy the slide show!
Gloversville's construction of
the new gymnasium well underway
On Feb. 8, 2007, district residents
approved $24.9 million in renovations and improvements
that were divided into two phases. The first phase
consisted of construction at
Kingsborough, McNab, and Meco elementary schools and was
completed in the fall of 2009. Phase two consists of additional work at the middle and high school,
most notably the construction of a new gymnasium at the
high school.
In November 2009,
the district opened and accepted 60 bids
from contractors for phase two of the plan. Bids were awarded based on the recommendations
from CSArch, GESD's architecture firm.
Construction began in the spring of 2010 with
completion expected by the fall of 2011.

Climate change benefits district's Capital Project
Posted 11/21/09
By choosing to delay the bidding process for the
Renovations and Alterations to the Middle and High
School Project until they saw evidence of change in the
economic climate, the Gloversville Board of Education
could end up saving the district nearly $2.7 million
dollars as competition among contractors drove the
prices down.

60 contractors turn out to submit bids for
Capital Project
Sixty
area contractors submitted bids on Friday, Nov.20, for
the final phase of the Capital Project approved by
voters in 2007. This phase of the project includes
renovations to the Middle School, the High School
Auditorium and Gymnasium, as well as new roofs on
sections of the High School. These updates and repairs
will address program needs and requirements, improve
energy efficiency in the buildings, and help insure
student and staff safety. CSArch, the district's
construction management team, will be reviewing the
documents and making their recommendations to the Board
of Education on Dec. 7.
