πŸ—οΈ Transportation & Maintenance Facility Completion Close! 🚧

Exciting progress continues on Mattawan's new Transportation & Maintenance Facility! Recent work includes asphalt paving, installation of ceiling grids and lighting, continued ductwork and insulation, parking lot striping, and painting of the steel in the service bays.


πŸ”¨ Looking ahead, crews will continue interior finishing, electrical and mechanical work, and begin installing fluid piping in the service areas.


πŸ’™ A special thank you to our Mattawan community for your continued support! Your investment in our schools is helping us build modern, efficient facilities that will serve our students, staff, and community for years to come! 😍


πŸŽ‰We plan on finishing BP2 on time and on budget. Current balance contingency dollars will come back to the district to be reinvested in the bond elsewhere!

Cafeteria Improvements

The updated cafeteria design focuses on improving student experience, operational efficiency, and community use. Key benefits include:

  • Expanded seating capacity for approximately 400 students, allowing for more flexible scheduling and improved comfort.

  • Dedicated serving and preparation spaces, improving meal service flow and overall functionality.

  • Centralized location adjacent to the main office to enhance safety and supervision during the school day.

  • Proximity to the front of the building, providing convenient access for after-hours and community events.


Main Office Relocation and Redesign

The new main office layout strengthens security, improves daily workflow, and better serves students and families. The redesign includes:

  • More efficient staff workflow through a centralized, connected layout.

  • Integration of β€œThe Den” and student resource areas directly within the office suite for easier access and support.

  • Improved health room design to provide enhanced privacy, accessibility, and student care.

  • Consolidation of essential servicesβ€”placing all administrative and student support functions in one area rather than two.

  • Dedicated receiving area to streamline deliveries for operations and food service, reducing congestion and improving building safety.

Summary

This design revision supports the district’s goals of maximizing existing resources, enhancing safety and efficiency, and improving both student and community experiences. By renovating and expanding the current spaces, the district achieves a more functional, secure, and cost-effective solution that supports long-term operational excellence.



Note below: green shading is the proposed new cafeteria footprint; blue is the new main office construction; purple is the current student services office. The stand-alone area is 'The Den.'

Work continues to move forward on the BP4 East project! Crews are currently building up the site pad, continuing excavation at the retention pond, and removing and salvaging existing fencing. 🚜 The progress photos show significant earthwork taking shape across the future tennis court area and surrounding site. The courts are scheduled to open in July 2027.


🎾 Coming up next: crews are expected to build an access road for upcoming concrete work and begin staking the tennis courts.


AS A REMINDER, part of the bond campaign is to be intentional about tree replacement. It will not necessarily be a one-to-one program, but the team is committed to replanting as wide a variety of trees as possible. For example, in the middle school project alone (new offices and parking out front), we are tentatively scheduled to plant over 100 trees throughout the north side of campus.
